actually good for you.

I think Dr. Lustig (among others) does a good job of setting the
record straight regarding HFCS, fructose/sugar, etc. Ever seen his
videos? Read his papers? I think most people are getting the message.
The rest don't seem to care, and they have a right to eat what they
want, IMO. It's their lives.

Thanks for the lead Dogman. Here's an article by Taubes on Lustig I
found (long). He suggests, among other things, that there is no
difference in the toxicity between HFCS and sucrose due to the fructose
component, but that starches are actually OK due to their lack of
fructose. Still, I'm not about to go eat a potato!
