High-fructose corn syrup is in just about every product on grocery store shelves so it is no surprise that something of a culture war sprang up against it - at least until the tables turned on sugar as well. Is one sugar that has a variable range of sugar really better than another sugar with a precise, even if lower, ratio of fructose? If fructose is bad, why isn't honey banned? Is bleached white table sugar the healthy alternative to anything?
