someone said that high fructose corn syrup is bad for you and makes you fat and that foods with that in it are worse for you then other foods
then some manufacturers use people's ignorance to draw them in to buying products that don't have high fructose corn syrup but instead use real sugar. The reason health people talked bad about HFCS is because it was one of the only sweeteners used in junk food, not because it is any worse than sugar
It is exactly as bad and fattening as sugar. The only reason it is 'bad' is because of the calories, but because of something creepy and artificial lurking in the HFCS.
Actually, high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is worse than sugars, such as glucose and sucrose.
Commercial glucose/sucrose can contain fructose, with equal concentrations of glucose/sucrose and fructose. HFCS, on the other hand, may have up to 5% more fructose.
Unlike glucose and sucrose, fructose is nigh exclusively metabolized in the liver.
Excess fructose is turned into fat that accumulates and can cause a condition known as fatty liver disease, which can then lead to the development of fatty cysts and/or cirrhosis, and significantly increases the chance of developing liver cancer--the fifth most prevalent cancer.
Here is an article on a Princeton University study regarding some of HFCS's adverse effects on rat health:

Hm. I meant to write:
Commercial glucose can contain fructose, with equal concentrations of glucose and fructose.
Since sucrose is glucose and fructose.
Also, I neglected to mention the issue with mercury contaminating some of the HFCS produced in 2005 . . .
NOT because of something...
