So I asked Kimber, was high fructose corn syrup any worse for people than normal table sugar?

No.

Wow.

So they're looking for at the triglycerides and like fat in the liver.

And, you know, you'd expect that if high fructose corn syrup was worse, you would see more triglycerides, more liver fat in that group.

But instead, you know, they saw a rise in both groups, but there wasn't a difference between the two.

So, yeah, I asked if Kimber was surprised.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I was surprised too.

I mean, but the reason, once you find out like what high fructose corn syrup is, it makes a lot of sense.

So I've been kind of holding back on you for dramatic effects, but basically high fructose corn syrup does not actually have that much more fructose in it than normal table sugar.

Really?

Yeah.

Despite the name.

It's just the name.

Yeah.

So basically both are made out of two things, fructose and glucose.

High fructose corn syrup is often 55% fructose.

Do you want to guess how much fructose is in table sugar?
