HFCS is Frankenfood. The junk is pure poison. We spend millions in sugar tariffs and subsides for the HFCS lobby. Better living doesn’t always come from chemistry.

Try to find food without it. Good luck it is everywhere.

Like ethanol, another stupid unnatural use of corn. The truth will keep coming out on this crap and none of it will be good.

Cell phones, high power lines, over cooked meat, baked goods, wheat, coffee, chromium in the water, chromium on your bumper, plastic bottles, all cause cancer, fallen arches and inflation.

And I’m expected to worry about fructose?

I got an orange one with sugar and it wasn’t half bad. I also dug out the 100mm macro and played with it some in hopes in it maybe paying for itself if a clip ever sells.

This is one of a few.

I wish RC Cola would go back to REAL sugar!

Won't happen till we get rid of the tariffs and import quotas on the stuff. That's the reason we're all being fed this high-fructose crap. Too bad Moochelle doesn't know enough about nutrition to criticize that.

What we need to do is discontinue supporting the high price for domestic sugar.

You're right, but the protection-nazis on FR won't like that.

Good point on Moochelle. On the use of “real” sugar, maybe lost sales will have some bearing eventually, as more and more people avoid HFCS.

Good advice when applicable. Why don’t you try following it?

IOW all aspects of the diets were different yet the conclusion is that a single component in the "test" diet is responsible for the outcome?

That's a good point. I would have done it with identical diets except the test group got fructose and the control group got an equal amount of glucose. Both are sugars with six carbon atoms.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, aka hepatic steatosis, was unknown before the advent of using high fructose corn syrup in soft drinks.
