Comments on: The Truth About High Fructose Corn Syrup http://www.nutritionforthenaive.com/2009/03/the-truth-about-high-fructose-corn-syrup/ β€œTo eat is a necessity, to eat intelligently is an art.” β€” La Rochefoucauld Tue, 22 Mar 2011 22:38:18 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Bismuth http://www.nutritionforthenaive.com/2009/03/the-truth-about-high-fructose-corn-syrup/comment-page-1/#comment-82 Bismuth Sun, 29 Mar 2009 19:58:57 +0000 http://www.nutritionforthenaive.com/?p=263#comment-82 I've never thought that corn syrup itself was worse than sugar. It's just that it's a cheap "shortcut" ingredient, and I find that foods that use large amounts of corn syrup also tend to have other low-quality ingredients. I've always been able to taste the difference in teas and juices that have been made with corn syrup vs. natural sugar, though I didn't realize the actual cause until recently. Corn syrup beverages always felt thick in the mouth and left a sort of acidic taste, while drinks made with sugar went down like water and were overall more refreshing.
