High fructose corn syrup isn't really any worse for you than cane sugar (sucrose).
Sucrose: 50:50 glucose to fructose chemically bound together. The first thing your body does with it is break it into those constituent components.
HFCS: ~50:50 glucose to fructose suspended in water.
There's no meaningful difference in how your body metabolizes the shit because it's literally the same shit.

Ps: ironically, the user @High-Fructose Corn Syrup is a dickless faggot who's too much of a pussy to debate me on this topic.
Get in here, nigger.

Eliminate most sugar from your diet.

Agreed.

It's not an uncommon argument. But sucrose is typically broken down via hydrolysis. The reaction consumes water. It's mostly thermally stable, perhaps slightly exothermic. So if there is a difference on the energy front, the same unit mass of cane sugar provides (negligibly) more calories than HFCS.

I actually went cold turkey on most all sugar.

It’s easier the longer you do it. I mean that’s easy to say, hard to do, but as of now, my teeth are so unused to sweets that they make my teeth itch

Since I eliminated sugar, I can have all the salt I want haha

The only problem is that drinks with HFCS have no flavour, I tried some American Mtn Dew as well as the Code Red and Blue Lightning versions (Idr if that's the right name I remember the can being blue) and found that the flavour barely lasted for a second and I was left with nothing regarding aftertaste but compared to one made here the flavour existed and lasted longer.

Beef is healthy and carbon neutral.
Every atom of carbon a cow (or any other animal for that matter) emits comes from carbon absorbed by whatever food they ate.
Just because I might disagree with you on one thing doesn't mean I'm retarded.

It's just cheaper and easier to pump around factories than cane sugar so they can cum dump more of it into food than cane sugar. Refined sugar is refined sugar.

On a serious note, you need far more glucose to achieve the same level of sweetness as you do with fructose. If you use glucose instead of fructose, you will end up consuming twice as much sugar.

corn syrup requires farm subsidies and import controls to stay cheaper than sugar, it takes a great deal of processing and the addition of various enzymes and chemicals to make the corn starch into HFCS, it's not accurate to say that it's the same thing as sugar, and if you think it tastes the same you don't have a very discerning palate


The first study showed that male rats given water sweetened with high-fructose corn syrup in addition to a standard diet of rat chow gained much more weight than male rats that received water sweetened with table sugar, or sucrose, in conjunction with the standard diet. The concentration of sugar in the sucrose solution was the same as is found in some commercial soft drinks, while the high-fructose corn syrup solution was half as concentrated as most sodas.

The second experiment -- the first long-term study of the effects of high-fructose corn syrup consumption on obesity in lab animals -- monitored weight gain, body fat and triglyceride levels in rats with access to high-fructose corn syrup over a period of six months. Compared to animals eating only rat chow, rats on a diet rich in high-fructose corn syrup showed characteristic signs of a dangerous condition known in humans as the metabolic syndrome, including abnormal weight gain, significant increases in circulating triglycerides and augmented fat deposition, especially visceral fat around the belly. Male rats in particular ballooned in size: Animals with access to high-fructose corn syrup gained 48 percent more weight than those eating a normal diet.

“These rats aren’t just getting fat; they’re demonstrating characteristics of obesity, including substantial increases in abdominal fat and circulating triglycerides,” said Princeton graduate student Miriam Bocarsly. “In humans, these same characteristics are known risk factors for high blood pressure, coronary artery disease, cancer and diabetes.” In addition to Hoebel and Bocarsly, the research team included Princeton undergraduate Elyse Powell and visiting research associate Nicole Avena, who was affiliated with Rockefeller University during the study and is now on the faculty at the University of Florida. The Princeton researchers note that they do not know yet why high-fructose corn syrup fed to rats in their study generated more triglycerides, and more body fat that resulted in obesity.

It's not.

Well yeah. Corn is subsidized for a miryad of reasons. A byproduct of the subsidies is that corn syrup will be cheaper as well. That's nothing to do with nutritional value.

The amount of "processing" it goes through means fuck all to how safe it is.

It absolutely does not taste the same. And I won't fault anyone for having a personal preference for cane sugar.
My point is you're doing a disservice if you're trying to convince people that stuff is somehow "healthier."

“When rats are drinking high-fructose corn syrup at levels well below those in soda pop, they’re becoming obese -- every single one, across the board. Even when rats are fed a high-fat diet, you don’t see this; they don’t all gain extra weight.”

Quite incredible, really. Odd how nobody else running the same experiment was able to replicate these findings.
Results
Twenty-five studies involving 1744 volunteers were identified. No significant effects were found when fructose or HFCS was substituted for glucose, except for a slight decrease in diastolic blood pressure when fructose was substituted for glucose. Similarly, no effects were found when fructose or HFCS was substituted for sucrose, except for a small increase, of uncertain clinical significance, of apolipoprotein B when HFCS was substituted for sucrose.
