Wrong. You should BAN High-fructose corn syrup. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-fructose_corn_syrup

It is way more harmful than natural sugar.

It is not banned yet because:

- It is made from corn, and corn is heavily substituted by US government.

- It is super cheap (high volume of corn available)

- It is not only slightly sweet but also prevents spoilage (that's why they add it to US "bread" !)

- It is good anti-oxidizer

- It is good and cheap liaison

This HFCS story is a bit of a strange thing.

At some point it was marketed as a more "natural" alternative to plain sugar. Then it became the villain and people said you should use normal sugar.

The truth is: HFCS is not much different from normal sugar. They're both calorie dense and not very healthy.

Anecdote, but hfcs requires approximately 3 times the insulin, if anyone has a different experience, please tell

It's funny you link to the Wikipedia page, and then make a comment like:

> It is way more harmful than natural sugar.

When the Wikipedia page doesn't agree with your assertion.
