There are also lots of people who claim they can taste the difference, but no double blind taste test has ever produced anyone who actually can.

Maybe not (although I'll fight you to the death over whether pop tastes better when packaged in a glass bottle or an aluminum can), but if you can sell pop made with sugar for $1 more than pop made with HFCS, and it only costs ten cents to make, both producer and consumer will walk away from that transaction completely happy.

I was with you up until this point:

There is all sorts of junk science about the supposed bad effects of HFCS.  It is all loonie toons stuff.  HFCS is totally safe.  There are also lots of people who claim they can taste the difference, but no double blind taste test has ever produced anyone who actually can.

Go ahead, drink a gallon of HFCS, and let me know how that turns out for you.

I noticed last week Jolt Cola is available again at Casey's General Store.

Speaking of IHOB/IHOP & Coke, IHOP sells Pepsi crap. I really hate this, not just because of the soda choice. Their sweet tea leaves alot to be desired.

it's not junk science that my friend who has a corn allergy can't drink anything with HFCS. As for me. sugar formula tastes more bubbly and less flat than HFCS

Probably wouldn't be any worse than eating a pound of sugar.

American Heinz ketchup and Canadian Heinz ketchup are chiefly separated by the former using HFCS, and the latter using cane sugar. They do taste different; I personally prefer the Canadian recipe.

Go ahead and drink, eat, inhale or otherwise ingest an massive overdose of about anything and let me know how that turns out for you.  Overdosing and then claiming some bad effect is one of the key elements of junk science, and, because of trial lawyers, why we cannot have nice things.

In the moderate amounts used, any product in any food, including HFCS, so-called GMOs (memo: people have been modifying the genetics of food since the dawn of mankind), or whatever else are 100% safe.

HFCS is worse than regular sugar.

However, GMOs are safe. I think that any food that advertises "no GMOs" as a selling point has to put a disclaimer that no difference in health has been found.

Why?  We don't require that of organic food, and there's nothing to suggest that organic food is actually better for you.

1. I came here to say this
2. I totally agree

Fructose is processed by the body slightly differently than sucrose is.

And cocaine is gluten-free.

Organic: that which contains carbon. Therefore, all fruits & veggies, no matter how processed, are organic.

Even humans are organic. So are turds. Organic label = fat stax! $$$

So chalk is organic? Not sure if you'd call calcium carbonate (or any metal-carbonate compound) organic.

What would that prove?  I couldn't drink a gallon of ANYthing, even water, at a sitting without bad effects.

ihop is officially back, just in time for their 60th Anniversary and offering a deal on pancakes.

The way they keep changing their name, I wonder if they should be IHOW International House of Waffles

For me, If I drink regular Mt. Dew made with HFCS, my knees start aching almost immediately.  I don't have that problem if I drink Mt. Dew Throwback (made with real sugar), plus the taste difference is amazing.  I really don't like regular Mt. Dew that much anymore, but will drink Throwback every chance I get...

Apparently the whole name change thing was just a promotional stunt.  Source.

I'm shocked this is still news.  They said from the get-go they weren't changing their name.  The gotta-pounce-on-it-media and gullible public ate it up though...

[jakeroot]

No one thought they were actually changing their name, right? It's a classic promo stunt. Classic.

That may be a sign of gout. I've heard that HFCS can be a trigger for a gout flare. Trust me, I know all about gout in the knees.

Pretty much what I thought

I am definitely bone on bone.  But I am learning that what I eat and drink makes a big difference in knee pain.  I do best on gluten free, but get sick of that pretty quickly...

I have a friend who can't eat anything with corn, so HFCS is basically poison to her.
