Okay, well, other experts like Robert Lustig think they're not very different.

The thing you have to watch out for is that lots of people want to find the "good" form of sugar. That's why we see products in the stores with ingredients listed like brown sugar, "evaporated cane juice", etc.

I concede that there might be a bigger difference between sucrose and HFCS metabolism than I was aware, and you did start off your comment with "Sugar would be bad but...". Nonetheless I think it would be easy for someone reading your comment to take away the idea that HFCS is the big problem and sucrose is okay, because people want to do that.

So I think the point that sucrose is not really okay either deserves more emphasis than you gave it.

I can't find the actual papers but it seems like his opinion is not exactly conclusive and his wiki page suggests something along those lines as well.

I literally said that they both bad. They can takeaway whatever they want but I can't really be blamed for that.
