If the US started using cane sugar instead of HFCS, would they begin to be healthier, or would it make no difference?

Answer #1

Depends on who you believe.

The “corn sugar” folks in the commercials say it’s just the same and your body can’t tell the difference…however, there are a few scientific studies linking high fructose corn syrup to obesity, etc, which are pretty hard to ignore.

Answer #2

I think it would make the states over all healthier because your body knows the difference between cane sugar and any other sugar.

Answer #3

I think so to, and my taste buds cand tell a differance to, I only use pure cane oragnic sugar, it doesn’t give stuff a heavy taste like sugar you know the ones in the 5lbs bags you get at the store

Answer #4

*can tell a differance

Answer #5

It would make no difference. We over here use ONLY cane sugar (as we only have cane sugar plantations) and it causes the same health problems. Sugar is sugar and an overload causes problems. Even fructose in high doses can cause diabetes and other ilnesses.

Answer #6

It would be more expensive to use cane sugar. We supplied the US with cane sugar for years until corn syrup. As for the health, well I guess the less expensive it is, the more u consume. So I guess there are pros and cons. Cane sugar is also known for the better taste as well. But that is just opinion.

Answer #7

It might make a small difference. Rats fed HFCS gained more weight than those fed cane sugar even when they consumed the same number of calories. While it might be one factor in our ever growing waistlines sedentary lifestyles,stress, and eating to much rich overprocessed food are much bigger factors.

Answer #8

Maybe they try to see other sources for sugar just in case. like when the world is trying to find an alternative energy source. :-)
