All sugars the same? Natural and man made?

"man made sugars"?? don't you mean something different? Corn syrup is not
"man made" if it comes from corn, after all.

True

But isn't high fructose corn syrup a kind of man made sugar?

I know it comes from corn..... but how is HFC diff? Or is it?

Is HFC just the natural sugars in corn that are extracted into a
syrup? Or is it altered some how?

corn is manmade. it never existed in the wild

Wow! Really? Serious?

I didn't know this!

Here's the bottom line, as I see it. Your body depends on carbohydrates for
fuel. Our wonderful and industrious government, in their research, figured
that out. But what your body does is take any leftover carbs that you eat
and store them in the form of fat for a rainy day.

However, in the world today, not that many people have those rainy days, so
we just store more carbs. Those of us on a low-carb lifestyle are forcing
the rain.

Great analogy!

Thanks!!

I always thought corn was a "good" food... ne that was good for you

Are you saying that all forms of corn are basically useless foods and
have very little nutritional value other than carbs?

If yes...... would it be wise to give up eating corn al together?

It's tough and tedious work. First you have to construct those big stalks
and stick on the leaves. The hardest part is sticking all those little
kernels on in rows.

Seriously, the plant we know as modern corn is the result of thousands of
years of domestication and selectively breeding. Its evolution has been
guided, to be sure. The path of its development from the original source
plant is quite a lively topic for debate in scientific circles.

Corn is man-made the way a Dachshund is man-made or an Angus steer is
man-made. They are all the result of domestication and selective
breeding.
