    Corn syrup is no worse for you than any other sugar.

    It’s definitely added to a ton of things but that’s because people like sweet shit. The corn syrup doesn’t hurt you - the overconsumption of any refined sugars causes diabetes.

    Removing corn syrup and adding white sugar is just as bad.

      We overconsume it because it’s in everything because it gets a shitload of subsidies so they look for as many excuses to use it as possible to save money, so, in a sense, yes, corn syrup is bad for you (as is all refined sugar that gets crammed into everything).
