Despite the Corn Growers of America Ads, high fructose corn syrup is worse for you than sugar. Most people don't know why, so they simply believe what information is told to them. While sugar and high fructose corn syrup has the same calories, the high fructose corn syrup is a manmade product that is so processed our body cannot burn it off quickly like it can with regular sugar. It turns into fat automatically because our bodies don’t know what to do with it. Calories does not equal bad-for-you or fat. Calories are simply units of energy. We need calories to survive. Bad-for-you foods are processed and made in a factory rather than a kitchen or field. While there is a considerable amount of research showing the problems of high fructose corn syrup, check out the recent Princeton research.
