It is. And the corn based one you get in the US because of taxes on cane sugar import is even worse.
Processed sugar = type 2 diabetes.



The body doesn't know the difference between the 2 types of sugars and processes them the same way.

The AMA does acknowledge that, because "HFCS and sucrose are so similar, particularly on absorption by the body, it appears unlikely that HFCS contributes more to obesity or other conditions than sucrose."
