So the compound is different. As the name would state. I've been noticing your using a lot of words like "Slightly, somewhat, kinda, etc", this does not help your argument.

Its negative side effects are trace and negligible.
Unfortunately HFCS is the culprit to numerous serious diseases.

Dangers of High Fructose Corn Syrup

Since HFCS’s widespread introduction in the 1980’s North American [COLOR=#CC3333 ! important][COLOR=#CC3333 ! important]obesity[/color][/color] rates have skyrocketed. Obesity has been linked to may heath issues including heart disease and many forms of cancer. When HFCS is ingested, it travels straight to the liver which turns the sugary liquid into fat, and unlike other carbohydrates HFCS does not cause the pancreas to produce insulin; which acts as a [COLOR=#CC3333 ! important][COLOR=#CC3333 ! important]hunger[/color][/color] quenching signal to the brain. So we get stuck in a vicious cycle, eating food that gets immediately stored as fat and never feeling full.
These articles are everywhere and they all say the same thing. Is this a huge conspiracy against HFCS? Or is it just a blatant reality?

If people aren't educated how do they know what is good for them? Most people just buy the cheapest stuff and believe they are eating the right things and now everything says natural on it so how are they supposed to know what is really good for them if they are being lied to at every turn?

also this....





This is a good one.
