Why do people hate on corn syrup when it's both literally

Americans aren't very smart.

>>8982107
because they confuse it with high fructose corn syrup

Because it tastes like corn and isn't very good for most applications. It's literally trash tier and companies only use it because it's cheap and easy to manufacture with.

Your body knows better than you do.

It can't tell the difference between sugar and sugar

People be stupid.

> corn syrup
> literally and unironically the same as refined sugar
It's not, though. Corn syrup is primarily fructose with some glucose, "refined sugar" (by which you mean cane or beet sugar) is sucrose.

Fructose is a monosaccharide. Glucose is a monosaccharide.

Sucrose is a disaccharide, composed of one fructose molecule and one glucose molecule joined together into a single molecule.

They are functionally pretty much identical as far as how your body treats them, especially since the disaccharide bond just gets nuked by your enzymes to turn sucrose into separated molecules of fructose and glucose, but they're not the same.

If anything that makes it worse. HFCS was 55/45 if I remember correctly so "almost" the same as sucrose metabolically.

Because they know the delicious taste of sugar beet syrup.

HFCS is easier to break up than sucrose, which means you retain more calories than from sugar. And then your pancreas overreacts and produces more insulin than is necessary. Rarely to the point of causing complications, but some people guzzle way too much soda.
Like that one Brit dude who lost all his teeth by 28 from drinking 8 liters of Coke. A day.
That wasn't a sugar problem, that was many, many, many other thing in addition to the HFCS in the Coke.

Yeah at that level the acidity plays a huge role too. However you could make the argument that higher fructose - glucose ratio means overall lower glycemic index and thus less of an insulin spike. Not that I'm making this point it's plain stupid though technically true.

>>8982331
Brits don't have disgusting HFCS coke though.

>>8982331
Britain does not use HFCS, though.
Living on nothing but coke just leads to scurvy though, I imagine.

>I read it on the trueveganrawliving blog so it must be true!

>>8982363
Not him but the fuck does that have to do with anything? You anti-vegan people are just as loud and obnoxious as vegans. Also he is correct, sugar alone is bad for your teeth but not 28-year-old-losing-all-teeth bad.

>because it's cheap

Yep. Corporate welfare subsidies for the production of corn sugar exceed SNAP but, surprise, surprise, our bought and owned congress never mentions that. In fact, big agri welfare subsidies are increasing, lol.

Verachter des guten Geschmacks und kein Komma?
Wir werden heute keine Freunde mehr.

Are you a shill for the corn syrup lobby? Because this sounds exactly like a commercial they were running a few years back.
