What is this "high fructose corn syrup" stuff, anyway? Does HFCS contain only fructose, with none of the deadly sucrose/glucose that's getting flamed to death in net.med? Or is this syrup only *relatively* high in fructose compared to "regular" corn syrup? This reminds me of something that might be related. I used to drink a root beer that listed fructose as its only sweetener, and had big letters on the lable that said "sweetened with fructose". One day the big letters were gone, and I found that the ingredients list now said "high fructose corn syrup". Is this type of labelling just one more way to hide regular sugar?
