High Fructose Corn Syrup Is Not Bad
Try not to laugh, but high fructose corn syrup is not bad for you. It is just another form of sugar. High fructose corn syrup cannot make you fat. Why not? Because it contains the same number of calories as sugar, claims the ad promoting high fructose corn syrup, which is sponsored by Corn Refiners Association. I guess they never heard about sugar detox.
The ad also claims that high fructose corn syrup contains the same nutritional compounds as regular sugar. So, should you stay away from products that contain high fructose corn syrup? Of course you should! Why? Because they are missing the point.
And the point is that it does not matter whether high fructose corn syrup is nutritionally the same as sugar or not. What matters is that it is everywhere, most commercially made foods contain sugar and high fructose corn syrup.
Can high fructose corn syrup make you fat? Sugar is sugar; just because it comes from a different source, does not make it any less, well, sugary and bad for you.
