There was a long thread on this point.

Therefore this sugar isn't being carried into body cells.

Then where does it go?

I hear fructose is also a terrible pre and post workout carb.

Again, this has been covered. My friend told me his bro can bench 455 raw for 20, thats just what Ive heard

So I wouldn't have a problem with them using other sugars to replace HFCS so long as my body used it efficiently.

Your body is smarter than you. What its doing and you think or heard its doing is very different.

Your point would be valid if 70% of the food in our grocery stores didn’t contain HFCS.

The big problem is not HFCS itself, it’s all the things that contain it. When I eat pasta, salad, or meat I don’t think to myself “Man, this would be a lot better with a few scoops of sugar!”.

Eating in moderation is key OldGuy, but when HFCS is found in things like breads, fruits, yogurts, marinates, dressings, juices, meats, health foods, and everything else, your consuming a diet rich in HFCS. The sad thing is, most people don’t realize what HFCS is, they buy things that are advertised as being “healthy” that are full of it and wonder why they are not loosing weight.

Again, so you think youd be better off with replacing all of this HFCS with regular sugar?

Furthermore, if HFCS is such a hot product, why can’t I go to the grocery store and buy a bottle of the stuff to cook with? Truth be told, the companies that manufacture this crap know that going retail will expose the unhealthy truth. Going retail would cost them millions in sales and eventually lead to revenue loss.

Hsve you ever thought that it is so cheap that it may be unprofitable to sell because youd have to buy it very large quantities? Have you ever thought about the difficulty in competing markets such as sugar?

When’s the last time you want to the public swimming pool and looked at the children running around, IT’S SICK, kids are fat as hell, to be honest it’s hard to come across a kid that’s not fat anymore. Pickup any kids snack and it’s sure to contain HFCS, we got to draw the line somewhere, something eventually needs to be done.

So youre saying that HFCS is to blame for the inactivity in children?
