You've not posted anything I haven't already read and I stand by what I said. For his purposes cutting out 180 calorue sodas whether it was hfcs or cane sugar, was the main reason for his weight loss. For the last 30+ years I've read research about health and weight loss and they always comeuppance with a bogeyman. Right now it's hfcs. I'm not saying they are good for you or not a problem, but they are being overblown and a convenient bogeyman for "victims" of obesity. It used to be eggs and dietary fat and cholesterol now it's hfcs. For that poster's situation , hfcs was not the cornerstone of weight loss, it was calorie reduction.
quote:
In short, HFCS is essentially the same as table sugar in taste and metabolic effect. Though it is largely over-consumed in sweetened beverages and processed foods, contributing to excess calorie consumption and weight gain, it is safe to be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced, healthy diet. Michigan State University Extension reminds that it is important to have a well-balanced diet.

Well sure, but I’d offer that replacing 180 calories of sugar with 180 calories healthy fat or protein would also yield positive results. Cutting 180 calories from a daily diet probably wouldn’t have much of an impact, unless you are cutting the right kinds of calories: carbs. 180 calories of insulin spiking sugar does not equal 180 calories of eggs, chicken, or vegetables.
You write it off as the next boogie man, but the latest trend is that people are becoming more and more aware that it was sugar that was always the enemy, not fats and cholesterol as all of American society was led to believe by official bodies for decades. High fructose corn syrup is just the most popular mass production offering of it, being figuratively shoved down everyone’s throats.
When you quote what you quoted from MSU, and it emphasizes practicing a well balanced diet, which is based on the food pyramid, which prioritizes carbs above all else, then it’s hard to take the rest of it with any salt. No pun intended.
