High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS for short) is much worse for you than sugar, even though the food manufacturers try to assure you that it is not. They want everyone to think so, because corn is a lot cheaper. But in reality, they are different on the molecular level: fructose corn syrup has weaker molecular bonds and is absorbed quicker into the blood stream, going straight to the liver, triggering production of fat. Rapidly absorbed sugar from HFCS causes huge insulin spikes. The result is: quickly growing rolls of fat around your middle, and, eventually, type 2 diabetes, when your body develops insulin resistance. HFCS probably causes more liver damage in the US than alcohol, called "fatty liver", which currently affects more than 70 million people. High Fructose Corn Syrup is not food, should not ever be eaten. It slowly poisons you, destroys your metabolism and your liver, and accelerates aging.
I sent an email to the White House suggesting to put high sales tax on everything containing high fructose corn syrup, as a good way to raise money to reduce the national deficit - it really is just as harmful as cigarettes and the alcohol, so why shouldn't it be taxed! Write to the White House as well. So many foods contain the HFCS, charging tax on them should totally pull this country out of economic slump.
