Is corn syrup really bad?

i mean people always say its bad but is it really cause now all of the sudden these commercials say it is okay so which is it?????????????...



"High Fructose" corn syrup is what is supposed to be bad. It supposedly causes an overreaction by your liver which produces a spike in insulin, causing a crash in your blood sugar levels.





It sure tastes good, though.




They are talking about High Fructose Corn Syrup - which is made from corn starch - not regular corn syrup that you buy as a baking ingredient in the store.





I don't think they have conclusive evidence that it is bad (meaning scientific studies showing how it causes harm) just yet - but for me personally, I try not to eat it as much as possible. I avoid it whenever I can.





Also remember that those commercials are produced by the people making money off of hfcs, sometimes money clouds people's idea of what is right and wrong.
