But I also suspect we're going to find out that HFCS are getting something weird from the processing or the crap corn it's made from.
From wikipedia, some of the processing involves these other items. I know it's purified, but...
1. Cornstarch is treated with alpha-amylase to produce shorter chains of sugars called oligosaccharides. 2. Glucoamylase - which is produced by Aspergillus, a fungus, in a fermentation vat — breaks the sugar chains down even further to yield the simple sugar glucose. 3. Xylose isomerase (aka glucose isomerase) converts glucose to a mixture of about 42% fructose and 50–52% glucose with some other sugars mixed in.
