I'm sick of seeing high fructose corn syrup in everything I eat or drink. It's everywhere, it ruins your liver. It's not even as good a sweetener as sugar is.
Picture related. IBC Root beer switched to corn syrup a couple of months back. Made me rage when I read the ingredients.

I read this thread then immediately there was a commercial promoting corn syrup saying it was perfectly healthy for me, telling me to get the facts.

HFCS is made up of 55% fructose and 45% glucose. Sucrose (table sugar) is made up of 50% fructose and 50% glucose.

Stop fucking freaking out you faggots. Shit isn't that bad for you. It wont destroy your liver any more than sugar will, and even then you'd have to eat a ridiculous amount of it, a ridiculous amount of fat, and lead a completely sedentary lifestyle.

You actually SHOULD get the facts and stop acting like an I-REFUSE-TO-LISTEN-TO-SCIENCE christfag.

>it raises your blood sugar the same amount as table sugar (hunger is mainly a response to your blood sugar levels).

lern2readthewholesentence

Melanson et al. concluded that sucrose is metabolized by the body like a mixture of 50% glucose and 50% fructose with no detectable difference from HFCS and Monsivais et al. could detect no difference in the reported satiety levels in people consuming sucrose or HFCS flavored drinks.

HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP IS MADE OF THE EXACT SAME STUFF TABLE SUGAR IS MADE OF - FRUCTOSE AND GLUCOSE. THOSE ARE THE ONLY TWO COMPOUNDS AND THEY'RE CHEMICALLY IDENTICAL IN BOTH HFCS AND TABLE SUGAR MADE FROM SUGAR CANE

THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS A 5% VARIATION IN THE RATIO OF FRUCTOSE TO GLUCOSE. THAT'S IT. 5% MORE FRUCTOSE. SAME CALORIES, SAME SATIETY LEVELS, SAME SWEETNESS, SAME TASTE, SAME EVERYTHING ELSE

HFCS IS BAD FOR YOU IN THE EXACT SAME WAY THAT SUGAR IS BAD FOR YOU (BECAUSE THEY'RE ALMOST THE EXACT SAME THING) - IF YOU EAT A FUCKLOAD OF IT, YOU GET FAT

THAT'S ALL THERE IS TO IT, KIDS

IT'S NOT THE DEVIL, IT'S NOT GOING TO MELT YOUR ORGANS AND MAKE YOU SCHIZOPHRENIC AND OBESE AND GIVE YOU A SMALL PENIS AND ACNE AND RAPE YOUR GIRLFRIEND AND KILL YOUR MOTHER

HFCS isn't bad for you.

Sugar in general is bad for you.

Well it's bad for you in the amounts most americans consume.

A fucking ton of it in a soda is bad for you.

A tiny bit of it in some iced tea is perfectly fine.

OH, and I'm not against HFCS.

I do prefer Mexican Coke or Pepsi where they use "real" sugar" to the US stuff, but i hear that's mostly because the formulas differ from country to country.

Diet tastes like SHIT! I hate the aftertaste to all those low/no-cal crap.

And no, I've never drank too much soda. At most, i would have one a day and usually watered watered down with a ton of ice.
Right now I probably have one soda every two weeks.

bottom line, there is HFCS in everyfuckingthing.even bread from the bread aisle for fucks sake. shit that it doesnt need to be in. so fuck corn syrup and corn starch powder and all that bullshit. i dont want to eat it because it saves the manufacturer a few bucks. if i'm going to drink soda i'll drink the cane sugar stuff. and it does taste different. fags.

Does bread even need sugar in it?

Well that's just fucking retarded and you're an idiot. You could say the exact same thing about sugar; and that it saves the economy some strain by replacing it with HFCS. Sugar is in things it doesn't need to be in.

Yeah. I have extenuating circumstances that make shopping a pain right now though. The only foods that aren't disgusting for you require cooking, and my kitchen is disgusting. The sink in my kitchen backed up pretty close to 9 times (apartment above me kept dumping grease down their drain) so no matter how many times I clean the kitchen, I'm still disgusted by it. Luckily I'm moving out in about two weeks.

Honestly, you guys really shouldn't be having but an incredibly small amount of sugar in your diet as it is, if you're really trying to be healthy, so whether it's corn syrup or real sugar, you fail if you're eating anything even coming close to harmful amounts.

The only sugar I have all day is in my soy milk, the little bit of brown sugar I put in my oatmeal, & the off chance I eat some berries of some sort.

Complex carbs are the way to go, gents. Simple carbs are borderline useless for anything but a quick fix.
