Trace amounts of any substance you ingest get absorbed. Eat a nickel and then get your blood tested. Heavy Metal Traces will shoot up. Yes the nickel will come out in the bathroom and look untouched but you will still have a high amount of nickel material circulating through your body.

Because you'd have to cite me an article that directly sources a credible study which makes that claim. It could be true, but neither of us know that. In any event, it doesn't cause enough of a detrimental effect to matter in any capacity.

This little video may answer your question. Its somewhat amusing too if you've ever seen the HFCS propaganda commercials a little while ago.

And actually, according to those nutritional facts I posted, sugar has more calories than HFCS.
290 / 77 = 3.76 kcal/g HFCS
280 / 73 = 3.83 kcal/g Sugar
Which of course isn't true, it's just rounding error. Both are 4 kcal/g

Actually at the end of the day HFCS, MSG, GMO's, and other unnatural synthetic additives are FAR worse than food that doesn't have them in it.
Much more. Almost night and day actually.
