I breezed quick through that NY Times article. True, HFCS is nutritionally probably not any worse for you than cane sugar was. I think it is just the sheer volume of it now that is what is concerning. It's in so many products now, and of course, we have SO many more packaged products that we didn't have 30 years ago or even 10 years ago. A rush-rush culture, eating in a hurry etc and so we load up on quick things and these are loaded with corn stuff. And, the amount of physical activity is reduced too for many folks. Gee, I remember when I had to get off the sofa and walk to the TV to turn the dial. Puff puff wheeze. Whoo, that was a workout.

Then again, after reading Marion Nestle's What To Eat I'm not sure I trust any researchers. She's always finding their secret connections to the big industrial food corporations.
