HFCS is just a scary word. HCFS is just a form of sucrose and believe it or not can containe slightly less or slightly more fructose than regular sucrose 50/50. HCFS 42 is 42% fructose (less than regular sugar) or 55% fructose, slightly more than regular sugar.

HCFS is only bad because it made sugar cheap, but it shouldn't to be blamed directly.

Agree. The core issue is why the fuck is there so much sweetener in literally everything that isn't in the vegetable aisle.

I was blaming hfcs because of the calorie count, not because of any natural grocers "real food" nonsense.
