It may not be that different from the standpoint of human metabolism but it's kind of ickey to have it inserted industrially into all your food due to corporate profiteering and backhanders. You could compare to a country like France say (I'm a Brit who visits the US and France), and the food tastes better, the people are slimmer and healthier and live longer (83 vs 79). I'd recommend a switch to the French system based on results, lifestyle and human happiness.
