Wrong. You should BAN High-fructose corn syrup.

It is way more harmful than natural sugar.
It is not banned yet because:
- It is made from corn, and corn is heavily substituted by US government.
- It is super cheap (high volume of corn available)
- It is not only slightly sweet but also prevents spoilage (that's why they add it to US "bread" !)
- It is good anti-oxidizer
- It is good and cheap liaison
- hannob 5y agoThis HFCS story is a bit of a strange thing. At some point it was marketed as a more "natural" alternative to plain sugar. Then it became the villain and people said you should use normal sugar. The truth is: HFCS is not much different from normal sugar. They're both calorie dense and not very healthy.
- Guest42 5y agoAnecdote, but hfcs requires approximately 3 times the insulin, if anyone has a different experience, please tell
- BeetleB 5y agoIt's funny you link to the Wikipedia page, and then make a comment like: > It is way more harmful than natural sugar. When the Wikipedia page doesn't agree with your assertion.
