Could it be because HFCS, like Sucrose is about half Fructose and that Fructose is only metabolized by the liver... Not to mention the damage Fructose causes, similar to glycation but without anything resembling reliable testing. So basically everything bad about alcohol for the body but without the negative reinforcement of a headache after.
Similar for fruit juice. In nature, people weren't drinking fruit smoothies by the liter year round either.
When I was a kid, my grandmothers had these tiny 1/2 cup glasses for "fruit juice" which was a serving.. and you should "only have one serving a couple times a week." That's just not what people do today.

- SpicyUme 1y agoI suppose I don't think too much about the type of sugars in my fruits. We're approaching the end of my fruit picking season but yesterday I probably ate ~3-5 pears worth of scraps/discards while processing a bunch for pear sauce. During huckleberry season my picking for the winter is limited by the amount I eat since each bush obviously must be sampled for flavor.
- JumpCrisscross 1y ago> Could it be because HFCS, like Sucrose is about half Fructose and that Fructose is only metabolized by the liver The study “defined” soft drinks “as the intake of carbonated drinks such as cola or other flavors,” and excluded “diet/zero calories” soft drinks. (Frustratingly, they don’t mention if unflavored soda counted.) So unclear from these data, from what I can tell.
