REMINDER: absolutely nothing wrong with High Fructose Corn Syrup
Poast new message in this thread
Date: October 10th, 2012 11:00 AM Author: Marvelous glassy partner There is exactly zero credible scientific reason to believe that it is better for you than regular sugar. Eating too much sugar is bad for you. Whether it's corn sugar or cane sugar makes no difference. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2075053&forum_id=2#21755003) |
Date: October 10th, 2012 11:01 AM Author: Razzmatazz Light Abode Nibblets yeah, the problem with HFCS is that they simply put it in fucking everything, and sugar is fucking poison. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2075053&forum_id=2#21755007) |

Date: October 10th, 2012 11:03 AM Author: Marvelous glassy partner Right, and now they make pop with cane sugar for people that are afraid of HFCS. Guess what? It's not better for you.
Sugar is pumped into all food because people like it. They are just meeting demand. The problem is that people are fucking retarded about nutrition and eat/demand too much sugar. |

Date: October 10th, 2012 11:16 AM Author: Marvelous glassy partner The shape of the demand curve for sugar, and the existence of readily available alternatives to hfcs, is such that the amount of impact that those subsidies have on the price of a bottle of pop probably has a negligible to nonexistent effect on consumption.
But your point is taken that such things could theoretically influence demand. Kind of like cig taxes were supposed to have an effect but didn't. |
|
Date: October 10th, 2012 11:04 AM Author: Razzmatazz Light Abode Nibblets In fairness, soda with cane sugar does taste better than HFCS. I agree that it's no different from a nutritional perspective, though.
It would be nice if I could find food that wasn't loaded the fuck up with sugar all the time. I mean, you can, if you eat like veggies and meat and basically nothing else. But got damn there's sugar in everything in so many aisles at the super market, it's nuts. |

Date: October 10th, 2012 11:13 AM Author: supple national liquid oxygen The thing is, a lot of times it doesn't even fucking taste better.
A great example of this is jarred tomato sauce. Best "upmarket" jarred sauce? Rao's, clearly. Best "midmarket" sauce? IMO (and I'm not alone), Prego marinara.
No sugar in either. Almost all of this shit has sugar, but these don't. I don't think it's a coincidence that they taste best. |
|
Date: October 10th, 2012 11:15 AM Author: Razzmatazz Light Abode Nibblets Agreed. It's fucking infuriating, breh. They put tons of sugar in peanut butter, too, but you can get the stuff without it and it is so much fucking better. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2075053&forum_id=2#21755100) |

Date: October 10th, 2012 11:28 AM Author: supple national liquid oxygen one of them is, like, it's so sweet that it doesn't taste like peanuts. maybe it's skippy, i forget. but it's basically like some kind of chemical paste (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2075053&forum_id=2#21755174) |
|
Date: October 10th, 2012 11:17 AM Author: Marvelous glassy partner I agree, but I think it's a matter of having more refined tastes than most.
I eat meals made from unprocessed meat and vegetables and such every day. People are just suckers. |

Date: October 10th, 2012 11:08 AM Author: Buff sandwich i don't think this is true. the corn has been highly processed into HFCS in a manner so as to create a highly effective delivery mechanism of sugar to the bloodstream. it affects insulin and a bunch of other shit in unnatural ways that chewing on a piece of cane (i.e., unprocessed sugar) does not do. i think there's research that shows it tinkers with your metabolism and might even affect you psychologically in ways that humans have never experienced at all, much less been evolved to cope with. HFCS is dangerous not because of caloric count (which is probably similar to other forms of sugar), but because of these other effects.
white sugar isn't much better, and neither is "raw" sugar. but stuff like agave and maple sugar is. |
|
Date: October 10th, 2012 11:09 AM Author: Marvelous glassy partner Well guess what? You're 110% fucking wrong. A lot of people, like you, don't think that this is true. And they are wrong to. Hence why I created this thread to spread knowledge. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2075053&forum_id=2#21755056) |

Date: October 10th, 2012 11:21 AM Author: Buff sandwich nothing you have said has diminished my beliefs. in fact, i've agreed with your point that cane sugar probably isn't better for you than HFCS.
But you're obviously wrong to the extent you say research hasn't indicated any problems with HFCS. See https://www.princeton.edu/main/news/archive/S26/91/22K07/, for example. |

Otherwise it's fine. |
