They ran the experiment with HFCS, so that's what they used in the conclusion.
In practice I wouldn't expect different results with a bolus of table sugar. However, they didn't test that so they didn't make any claims about it. Mostly just being scientifically accurate.
- bcatanzaro 5y agoYeah I think so too. But it’s unfortunate because people demonize HFCS for cultural reasons and this article just makes it worse. Like I said, drinking a Mexican coke isn’t going to result in significantly less fructose in your intestine. Even if I do agree that it tastes better. :)
- arrosenberg 5y agoHFCS gets demonized because it's very cheap due to government subsidy. The obesity epidemic was already underway when (for example) Coke switched, but the switch helped keep prices of sweets low and fueled it further than it otherwise may have gone.
- petre 5y agoMaybe it's demonized because in the US it's added to almost every possible food? Bread, milk, cereal, you name it.
