I haven't seen any evidence to back it up (I did read a study on it recently) that says it is any different than plain ol' sugar (besides the matter of taste).

It's no more dangerous than a whole shitload of sugar, no.

But then again, sucrose is 50% what?

What = Fructose/Glucose.

As I understand it, the problem is that sucrose, being 50% Fructose and 50% Glucose, is what our bodies are used to processing.  HFCS is something like 60% Fructose and 40% Glucose, which when processed leaves extra Fructose floating around in our systems, which causes problems that a shitload of sugar, in and of itself, would not.

Something like that, anyway.

Do you understand how terrifying the words “vibrating strap on” are for an asexual? That’s like saying “the holocaust” to a Jew.

That's what the un-source says!

Water retention? Flatulence? Loose stools? And maybe cancer, but what DOESN'T cause cancer? Am I right? Oh, and why don't they make the whole plane out of the stuff they make the black box from? Am I right? And what's the deal w-

I believe it's actually that sucrose is chemically bonded fructose + glucose, which has to be processed by your body and broken down, and part of that process tells your body how much sugar you are eating and when to adjust certain hormone levels.  Wheras HFCS is unbound glucose + unbound fructose in similar proportions.  It's the concept in general behind why less-processed things are healthier for you, as far as I understand.

...is it really that complicated?  The problem with HCFS is that you never get it in doses less than a tablespoon or more, and can be up to twice as concentrated as regular grain sugar.

Try eating two tablespoons of grain sugar straight, and tell me how good you feel afterwards.

Would it be cool if we made simple syrup out of it instead for this experiment and drank it?

Sure, heat it to melting point and then eat it.  Tell me how the fuck that feels.

You understand that part of the super-saturating process is letting it get back down to human temperatures, right?

I'm only keen to inflict diabetes to myself.

Ah, good point. I had forgotten (somehow) that hydrolysis would probably take place in the process of making the syrup basically giving us 50% fructose cane syrup and trying to argue that x mols of unbound fructose is or isn't as bad for you as x mols of unbound fructose.

It would be simpler to just only drink water. I do this! It helps that I can't stand carbonation.

That's a habit I picked up in the Navy. Wake up, chug water, drink water all day. It also promotes good health and clarity of thought.

that's right

this is me thinking clearly

You know what?  Concentrated sugar is great for you.  Go have some more.

HOORAY FOR DESTROYING OUR OWN BODIES!

CONCENTRATED SUGARS! ALCOHOL! CAFFEINE! HEMLOCK!

I'm actually going to search for papers about the differences in decomposition between 55% HFCS, 50% SS, and sucrose crystals sometime next week now. Discovery time!  :imagination:

I cannot put my photos on my iPhone for reasons not clearly stated and for which there is no reliable fix and which Apple doesn't seem too interested in correcting.  They're the best ever.

My boss has made a habit of constantly derailing my thought train. I get confronted with some difficult problem, and just as I'm about to lick it I hear HEY THIS THING IS BROKEN, TOO. LET'S FIX IT RIGHT NOW. Repeat about six times a day.

A couple days ago I was at Best Buy, I saw Sam & Max Season 1 on sale for twenty dollars and bought it on a whim.

Before I continue, I want to make sure that if you've ever said that "PC Gaming isn't difficult or expensive", that you pay attention.

When I attempt to load up the game, I get an error message when it tries to autorun. Ditto the extras CD. When I try to get the setup running manually, nothing happens.

It turns out that the CDs are incompatible with my (new) computer's disc drive. Yeah.
