I don't think that "which sugar" is better is necessarily the debate that is going on here. It is the protectionism of the sugar industry with a huge amount of money going to waste because of it.

Honestly, the amount of sugar/HFCS in various products in the US is absolutely insane. Hell, I pay a premium to buy whole natural peanut butter compared to Jif or the other crap which all contain sugar.
These days I spend more time looking at labels trying to find out what crap is in my food that shouldn't be there, chemicals, sugars, all kinds of salts, and preservatives. Ugh.

- moultano 13y agoYou would think it would be easier to find peanut butter with less ingredients. I'm a peanut butter fiend, I love it so much I eat it with a spoon. The first time I had peanut butter without sugar was a few months ago, and it was like a miracle. So delicious!
- X-Istence 13y agoI'm from Europe, eating peanut butter with sugar in it was a shock to the system, and not a good one either. It tasted funny to me.
- snogglethorpe 13y agoDon't try Japanese peanut butter then, I think it contains more sugar than it does peanuts... >< [Seriously, the stuff is like candy paste. Although I grew up eating American mass-market peanut butter, I can't stomach the Japanese stuff; even in a sandwich with something sweet like jam/jelly, it just tastes wrong...]
