Since we seem to have jumped the tracks here anyway, let me just

Glen Beck, and Sarah Palin.


HFCS is not significantly worse than cane sugar or beet sugar or
honey. All four are made up of approximately the same proportions of
glucose and fructose. That doesn't mean HFCS is good for you, quite
the opposite; it means sugar and honey are worse for you than ppl
think.


No. Cane sugar and beet sugar are almost 100% sucrose. I can't lay my
hands on an analysis for beet sugar (which we don't get much here) but
white refined cane sugar is one of the most pure chemical substances
that you will find in your kitchen.



Yes, but sucrose is fructose + glucose.
