Edude, that still does not answer my question. What would happen if they put someone on a high cane sugar diet? I want to know what is the health difference between someone taking in the same amount of HFCS and Cane Sugar, you still have not given that to me. We know HFCS is not a health addative, so I am sure someone on a high diet of it would not benifit, but neither would someone on a high cane sugar diet. Dont most of thoes people end up becoming diabetic or something? So once again, please show me the comparisons and how much more dangerous it is. If not I can't view your posts as anything more as an opinionated rant. You may or may not care what I think about it, but I do want to know if there is more to your argument or not. Make me a believer.

You can drag a horse to water but you can't make it drink! If you haven't figured it out by now....you won't figure it out.

So then you dont have the answer.

Um Ron....do you need to be hit in the head?Experts are finding that "high-fructose corn syrup" (HFCS) is making us fat. Scientists at nutrition research centers are saying that it's a huge problem.
Here it is one more time Ron in very simple language. If you don't get it this time you never will.

Exactly what is high-fructose corn syrup? Well, it's not the same thing at all as the natural, healthy fructose in honey and fruit. High-fructose corn syrup is a highly refined, artificial product. It is created through an intricate process that transforms corn starch into a thick, clear liquid. White sugar and high-fructose corn syrup are not the same. Industry advocates for corn growers say that they are the same. But nutritional science studies say that there is a big difference between the two. They say that high-fructose corn syrup is worse than sugar.
This manufactured fructose is sweeter than sugar in an unhealthy way, and is digested differently in a bad way. Research has shown that it goes directly to the liver, releasing enzymes that high-fructose corn syrup instructs the body to then store fat! This may elevate triglyceride (fat in blood) levels and bad cholesterol levels. This fake fructose may slow fat burning and cause weight gain. Other research indicates that it does not stimulate insulin production, which usually creates a sense of being full. Therefore, people may eat more than they should. Indications also are that chromium levels are lowered by this sweetener which may then contribute to type 2 diabetes. Obesity is a contributor too.

Many older Americans are overweight. As we age, our taste buds don't work as efficiently, prompting us to eat more of everything that tastes sweet. High-fructose corn syrup is in almost everything.

The dangers of white sugar have been known for a long time. But now the evidence seems clear that high-fructose corn syrup is an even more dangerous consequence for our love of sweets. Dietary experts are singling out this fake syrup as one reason for the startling rise in obesity in America and related increase in diabetes.

Maybe you dont get my question. I am not asking if HFCS is healthy for you or not, I just want to know how much worse than sugar is it? Yes you can keep quoting that people consume more HFCS than 30 years ago, and that obecity is through the roof (which in a recent fitness test here in the Bay Area, I think more than 25% of the kids could not even meet minimal standards). I get that, HFCS is not a health tonic. But what I want to know, is what exactly is the difference. How exactly is it worse than sugar. If 2 people ate the same foods, but one had HFCS the other did not, does the HFCS guy gain 25 lbs, were the other guy only gains 5? This is what I want to know. Do not show me more copied quotes about how HFCS is bad for you...I get that, and I also dont care. I want to know HOW MUCH WORSE IS HFCS THAN SUGAR. What is the difference if 2 people were tested with HFCS and Sugar. How much worse would someone be if they had only HFCS or only Sugar. This is what I am asking, please show me a comparison. Not anything else on HFCS stuides. Now please answer that or say you dont know. Either one will satisfy me.

Ron I showed you the difference over and over again. HFCS does not act the same in the body as stated above.... if you can't read ....you can't read.

what you are showing me is the effects of a high HFCS diet. Show me the effects of a high sugar diet also please. Yes, as I said I understand HFCS is not a healthy addative for you. I dont care that the body treats it differently than normal sugar, I want to know the difference a body reacts with a high HFCS diet and a high sugar diet. Do not tell me that HFCS acts differently in your body, I dont care. Show me the effects of a high sugar diet please so I can make the conclution my self. But again, if you dont know, that is fine aswell.

i half agree with you on this one, companies are really packing everything with crap, like HFCS and partially hydrogennated oils. they should at least offer a low-carb, low-crap version of foods. thing is though, most of the american public is either dumb and they dont know, or they dont care (like me) plus the companies are so greedy that its never gonna happen. they sell what makes money. as for cigarettes, i blame it on stupidity. people think smoking makes them look cool, so they smoke, then get addicted. good idea but i hate to tell you, it's got about a 1 in a billion chance of happening.

I guess Arizona is going to take the lead in getting rid of junk food and sugar cola's in schools. Makes sense!
