> Costco doesn’t sell caseloads of Cocacola shipped all the way from Mexico to the north east because it’s “hipster bullshit.” Costco sells a lot of good stuff but they also sell plenty of stuff because it is hipster bullshit. Case in point. > There is a significant chemical difference between sugar and HFCS. For one, the molecules in sugar are disaccharides while in HFCS they are free. And those molecules are enzymatically broken down to monosaccharides early on in your GI tract, long before it ever makes into your blood. Sucrose is never absorbed into your bloodstream. > but basically fructose is multiple times more reactive in your blood than glucose and creates nasties when it reacts with other things you eat, namely fats. Yes and sucrose is 50/50 glucose and fructose and this dissociation occurs long before anything about the bloodstream enters the picture it happens right in the intestines mixing with all the other fatty Mexican and European garbage you’re eating. All the bad shit you think happens with fructose will occur with “real” sugar consumption. So your reply or Wikipedia article would make no sense in this context hipster. Being downvoted by the HN moron brigade (and I’m more referring to the parallel comment rather than mine) doesn’t change any simple scientific and physiologic facts.
