A lot of researchers maintain that HFCS is metabolized differently than cane sugar (sucrose). I think it’s the amount of consumption that really makes a difference. When you’re drinking 2 or 3 soft drinks a day, rather than the occasional one that we drank when I was a kid, you’re going to put the lbs on.

As I understand, HFCS is more like fructose, which both metabolize faster than sucrose, being simpler sugars. So, your system gets a bigger influx of carbohydrates with each drink or meal. And, if you check your food labels, HFCS is in practically everything, even foods that are not sweets, so you’re getting a constant infusion of sugar into your system.
