a) Refined sugar and HFCS both cause fatty liver about equally.

b) HFCS is sourced from corn, which means pesticide residue.

c) Palm oil also leads to fatty liver.

They may be an "even trade", but certainly harmful to one's health.

b) White sugar is sourced from sugar cane which is also grown with pesticides. In both cases you have to trust the respective refining processes to clean your food.

I absolutely agree with you that sugar and saturated fat in anything other than moderation is harmful to your health but that, in this case, the source of those things doesn't really matter.
