wasn't there a yale study that tied fructose to appetite regulation recently? I never actually found and read the main study, but i think there have been prior

  The first article concerns fructose in general, not HFCS in particular. Cane sugar contains comparable amounts of fructose. The second article says, in its abstract, "However, when HFCS is compared with sucrose, the more commonly consumed sweetener, such differences are not apparent, and appetite and energy intake do not differ in the short-term. Longer-term studies on connections between HFCS, potential mechanisms, and body weight have not been conducted".

    yup, i read that. that older study doesn't really argue for or against, though. one thing that really bothers me though is that having grown up in germany i have big problems swallowing hfcs. mostly because it tastes dull, and feels very acidic in my throat. i've asked other people from overseas and they reported similar things. the only thing I could find though is the addition of sulfuric acid. if you have some information on that, i'd be grateful.
