This Is Your Brain On Sugar: Study in Rats Shows High-Fructose Diet Sabotages Learning, Memory

14. The claims of health damage are not based on absorption rate.

The claims of danger from HFCS are in it's metabolism. A slow absorption rate would reduce it's metabolism and thus we'd have fewer problems with HFCS than other sugars.

Also, how come flatulence and IBS aren't reported with HFCS use? Still got D-fructose in it. Yes, some people claim it, but some people claim damn near anything causes their IBS.

Again, my point is the crusade against HFCS is a bad idea. It should be a crusade against sugar. 'Cause if the crusade against HFCS wins, we'll just switch to sucrose and still have the same problems with obesity, diabetes, etc.

About the only positive is it would probably make it easier to kill off corn subsidies.
