Research HFCS. It is not just sugar; it's a manufactured form of sugar and does have some bad side effects; some say it has contributed greatly to obesity.

All forms of sugar have bad side effects if you consume too much of them. HFCS has less fructose by percentage than an apple.

It's an unnatural form of sugar.

It's an unnatural form of sugar.

It's about 50% fructose and 50% glucose, which is the same as table sugar.

The word "unnatural" has no magic and doesn't do anything to harm a body.

Is that why our bodies produce mass quantities of an enzyme that specifically breaks glucose and fructose? Or do we produce high quantities of a worthless enzyme just because we have DNA for it? Our bodies are transcribing every single gene, with no feedback mechanisms, pumping out RNA strands just because.

Read the Hyman report on it before you start spouting off your ignorance.

You'll fall for just about anything.

Here are 5 reasons you should stay way from any product containing high fructose corn syrup and why it may kill you.

Sugar in any form causes obesity and disease when consumed in pharmacologic doses.

Agreed. Duh. No reason to specify HCFS.

HFCS and cane sugar are NOT biochemically identical or processed the same way by the body.
... HFCS also consists of glucose and fructose, not in a 50-50 ratio, but a 55-45 fructose to glucose ratio in an unbound form.

55% is at the high end (it varies from 55% to 42%), but still less that the 57% of an apple.

Since there is there is no chemical bond between them, no digestion is required so they are more rapidly absorbed into your blood stream.

The time to break up a glucose-fructose, or fructose-fructose bond, is biologically insignificant.

HFCS contains contaminants including mercury that are not regulated or measured by the FDA. An FDA researcher asked corn producers to ship a barrel of high fructose corn syrup in order to test for contaminants. Her repeated requests were refused until she claimed she represented a newly created soft drink company.

Yeah, that's believable. I did notice they did not run a similar scam on the makers of cane sugar or beet sugar, for control purposes.

Independent medical and nutrition experts DO NOT support the use of HFCS in our diet, despite the assertions of the corn industry.

They aren't fond of other types of sugar, either.

HFCS is almost always a marker of poor-quality, nutrient-poor disease-creating industrial food products or “food-like substances”. The last reason to avoid products that contain HFCS is that they are a marker for poor-quality, nutritionally-depleted, processed industrial food ...

Same for any type of added sugar.

With a doctor that produces a lot of inconsistent and questionable conclusions, you should probably specify which one. The guy classifies alzheimers as type 3 diabetes... having a hard time taking him seriously.

The Hyman link you offered has already passed my threshold on slimy, snake-oil tactics for the day. I don't think I can take an additional report.

When you link to this stuff, do you really think it will somehow bolster your argument or make you look better? You fail at that, so consistently we could almost set a clock by it.

I have to say you jump to conclusions very quickly based on a quick Google search of a topic. There is so much disinformation online because of the profit motive that you need to be more discriminating and not call people ignorant because their opinion doesn't jive with what comes up first on Google. I've read numerous articles warning about high fructose corn syrup. Why do you think some companies put labels on their products "No High Fructose Corn Syrup"? This has been going on for a number of years now. But I guess you don't agree with the organic foods movement but accept what companies like Monsanto feed you.
