Hi /fit/,

My friend and I recently got into an argument about HFCS. I picked up the notion that HFCS was somehow really bad for you, even worse than regular sugar. He insists that they are both the same and do the same thing to your body on the grounds that they are blahblahblahsaccharides. So, just having the notion that HFCS is worse for you, I had no supporting points or no idea why it was worse. So could you guys tell me why HFCS is worse than regular sugar? Biofags report in please. Thanks in advance.

Shameless bump.

It is just sugar. It is barely any different from regular sugar.

Also, say hi to /mu/ for me.

That's because, if you've been here longer then a week, you'd realize that, more then half of this board's lurkers, have little-to-no clue about nutrition.

Take it from me, a guy who has lost tremendous amount of weight, gained, and studied the long and short term effects of additives to the body.

I hate these boards for what they are nowadays. Don't go looking for advice here. That's all I have to say,

This is more a /ck/ point, but as a Eurofag I find HFCS tastes horrible (it's quota'd down to 2-3% of all sugar production in the EU).

Proteins in everything!
Saturated, Mono and Polyunsaturated fats are in everything!
Carbohydrates are in everything!

Jesus, someone help me!

You see how stupid this logic is?

It's bad. There's way too much of it in modern diets.
The glycemic index is through the roof. Americans drink hundreds of unneeded empty calories, if not thousands, from sodas and juices.. daily.

That said, it's no worse than shoveling pounds of natural sugar into everything you drink.

Well I lurked for months here before I put on the tripcodes. There were so many threads here where people were in agreement that HFCS was worse...

Use some common sense.
Don't be fooled by what a group of people think. Read and learn, look into the subject for yourself. See how sugars are metabolized, how the body reacts to sugar, how it's all converted. At one point you'll start to realize how twisted and brain-washed the majority has become.

God you're a dumb cunt. HFCS isn't naturally in everything and it's not particularly healthy. It would be the exact same thing as if processed foods had tremendous amounts of cane sugar added to them.

The reasons that HFCS is worse than sugar are because of it's effect on insulin sensitivity, the fact that fructose is only metabolised in the liver and how easy it is to overconsume.

Of course having too much of any sugar is bad for you anyway.
