By your logic eating sugar is the same as eating brown rice, since they’re both broken down before going into your blood. Sugar isn’t healthy, but HFCS is even worse, with measurably higher glycemic index. And as mentioned, it has more fructose (5%.)

“Compared with sucrose, HFCS leads to greater fructose systemic exposure and significantly different acute metabolic effects.”

No that is not by my logic, that is something you’re making up, I never brought up any completely different foods. Rice and refined sugar products are not the same. Try again.

Again because you are obviously slow (too much sugar?): sugar (like HFCS) is a refined product, it will have similar glycemic index to HFCS. The enzymatic breakdown of sucrose is fast enough not to matter. Rice is not, stop muddying the waters with irrelevant bullshit.

There is no evidence that the 5% difference in fructose content between usual HFCS and sucrose is of any consequence for health outcomes.
