It makes you addicted to sugary foods. Youre also 10 times more likely to gain weight consuming it than with sugar. In order to avoid that shyt you have to seriously check your ingredients and go to a bunch of health food stores. What boro do you live in?

Yea it's surprisingly in everything. It's in ketchup, sodas, spices, juices and even in some breads. :wtf:

It's almost impossible to avoid if you dine out since you can't see the ingredients but if you read your labels and cook for yourself, its easy to avoid. Also, if you are dieting, its in foods that you would avoid anyway.

Lately, companies have been getting slick and changed the name from high fructose corn syrup to corn sugar. I dont know the science behind it but I just do my best to avoid it.

Thank you, U.S. Government for paying out so much in corn subsidies that it is cheaper to make this stuff than to use actual sugar. It's ridiculous.

If you've ever travelled overseas and had a soda made with cane sugar as opposed to one made with corn syrup, you'll notice a difference.

I mean both aren't healthy but corn syrup is basically a really cheaper shyttier sweetener.

I dunno if it's bad for you but it sure doesn't taste as good. I'm overseas eating some foreign ketchup on my eggs right now that was made with real sugar instead of HFCS...shyt is :ohlawd:
