It's actually much healthier than cane sugar. Fructose tastes much sweeter than glucose, and sucrose is just a 50/50 mix of the two. If you increase the ratio of fructose to glucose, you can use less sweetener overall for the same sweet taste. Therefore you should use HFCS if you want a food to taste sweet but with lower calories than cane sugar.

Yeah this one actually isn't a meme
It's the literal definition of empty calories and has been linked to fatty liver disease, insulin resistance, It's been linked to rising obesity and diabetes rates in america, it increases inflammation. Sugar in general in the amounts we have access to today is not remotely healthy and no one would think otherwise unless you are in deep denial and shame over your fatness

>> No.17343256

>>17343242
Fructose in general is horrible for you, the redeeming part to the whole fruit or cane is the addition of fiber. We've gone beyond the jungle stage of our development and fruit isn't and shouldn't be a primary part of our diet. Can we eat it? yeah of course, does it provide any benefits? Yes absolutely but saying that fructose is a healthier alternative to anything is insanity

you are an idiot if you think there hasn't been research into the causation just because their is a correlation.

Remember when they had those clearly big HFCS lobby propaganda commercials in like 08?
Some woman was eating a popsicle and offered it to a guy who said he couldn't have it because it had HFCS to which she (of course) SCHOOLED him on why HFCS was actually GOOD and definitely NOT BAD FOR YOU AT ALL.

I love how chemlet zoomers screech about muh evil hfcs.
You understand “real” sugar is 50% fructose, yeah?
You understand the most common form of HFCS is 55% fructose, yeah?
Lol no, of course you fucking don’t. Because your chemistry classes were replaced with pronoun vocabulary studies.
Same as how zoomlet education is why you think the “high fructose” bit means like it’s some poisonous concentrated form of muh evil fructose, instead of knowing the basic fact that “corn syrup” has 0 fructose, so when it’s made to have any at all, it becomes “high fructose”.
But the important thing is that I’m a shill for pointing out how retarded you are. Don’t ever forget that the sugar industry is wholesome and cares about your health.

i like to think the molecule is simply fucked and won't break down properly with organic molecules

if someone said my dessert had 50% corn syrup added to cut costs i wouldn't be upset It's really the fact that it's slopped in with no thought 100% often in huge quantities because it's cheap. It's borderline poison in high enough quantities, just like you can get water poisoning from drinking too much water.
