Sugar is poisonous and it promotes the growth of harmful gut bacteria that influence your brain chemistry to make you crave more sugar. Cut out all sweets and sweeteners except raw honey for a couple weeks and you'll feel like a different person. You'll sleep better, you'll have more energy, and pretty quickly you won't crave sugar. I broke my sugar fast a bit over the last week visiting with some friends and I immediately felt gross. Be careful to not replace those sweets with extra carbs.

High fructose corn syrup is taking the very center part of a kernel of corn...the sweetest part. Then heating it up and destroying all of the water out of it. What you're left with isn't natural (as the used amount at once without ANYTHING else supporting it can't be found in nature) . not by any stretch of the imagination.

A little honey now and then isn't going to kill you and your response and most responses here read like some kind of cult manifesto. It is possible to live life with self governance and not only be healthy and happy but sane as well

The bottom line is that a compound is what it is. It doesn't matter where it originated. Water formed by burning hydrogen isn't different than water formed by reacting hydrogen peroxide with sodium hypochlorite. Likewise, fructose is fructose whether it's extracted from a kernel of corn or from honey. If fructose is bad for you, then it's bad for you from honey or HCFS. If it's not bad for you, then neither are bad for you. If honey is OK in moderation, so too is HFCS.

eh, it depends on whose saying it. I imagine that if word got out that natural sugars processed more slowly and didn't give off the same cravings indicators from the brain... that the yearly 9 trillion dollar industry might take a significant hit.

That's not how it works. A molecule of fructose is a molecule of fructose. How it reacts with anything, including digestive enzymes, is dictated by its atomic composition and molecular structure. There cannot be two molecules of fructose that behave differently in the body because of how they came to be there. That's not how physics and chemistry work. That is the realm of magic.

High fructose corn syrup can not be obtained from honey, so comparing fructose to high fructose corn syrup is kinda invalid.

That said avoid sugar like you would avoid downtown Martin Luther King Blvd at 1 am on the anniversary of Floyd's death.

And...Eat sugar before hfcs.

You're getting confused. Fructose is in high fructose corn syrup. There's a lot of fructose in it. That's why they call it "high fructose." If fructose in HFCS is bad for you, then it's also bad for you in honey. If fructose in honey is not bad for you, then it can't be bad for you in HCFS.
