My post was a joke but if you actually wanna look at it, sugar is the leading cause of many health issues especially obesity, which poses a tremendous financial burden on our health care system.

Wrong. High fructose corn syrup is responsible with saturated trans fats as well as salt. If more people ate natural unrefined sugar who knows where we'd be

exactly. real sugar isn't necessarily bad. our health and obesity problems are directly related to high fructose corn syrup.

Real sugar in small doses is fine. The levels of sugar in all of our food supply is dangerously high and poses real threats. This will be the next big "bombshell" that comes out about our dietary needs.

as i'm reading the beginning of the article i'm saying to myself this reads like industry funded language. obviously sugar isn't a health food. and that's why water is better for you than juice.

Very few studies have been conducted that compare sugar sources head-to-head, such as comparing high-fructose corn syrup against table sugar in a person's daily diet, said Dr. Kylie Kavanagh, an assistant professor of pathology and comparative medicine at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem, N.C. Most of the handful out there have been funded by the corn industry, which casts a shadow over their mostly positive findings, she contends.

Kavanagh said she's firmly in the camp that believes the source of sugar does matter, and that high-fructose corn syrup is worse than table sugar.

That's because the glucose and fructose contained in high-fructose corn syrup aren't chemically bonded, while the two are joined by a chemical bond in table sugar.

"That means they are much more easily absorbed when delivered in industrial high-fructose corn syrup," Kavanagh said. "The fructose is floating free."

Kavanagh and Sharma also believe that the slight differences in fructose and glucose composition between high-fructose corn syrup and sugar do, in fact, matter.

btw, i take it you all that like the idea of sugar becoming more expensive also appreciate the nanny state actions of some cities that have a sugar tax because healthier people and lower health costs (or people paying for the increased health costs via this tax) drive those moves.

I think consensus is already that Americans consume too much sugar. Even in the studies you linked, there seems to be a reluctancy to accept the fact that fructose and glucose are not metabolized the same in the human body. And that's just pure monomers, not the polymer that is HFCS. They aren't willing to make the link. And I understand that, it's a big industry in this country. Personally it's clear to see, all sugar is obviously bad when overdone, but the human body evolved over hundreds of thousands of years metabolizing one form of it. Too much unrefined sugar may not have caused the rates of diabetes we see with too much HFCS.
