I’ve written before about sugar and obesity, but today I found a whopper of an article on previously-linked “In the Pipeline”. Get this:

The large amount of high-fructose corn syrup produced and used in the US and other industrialized countries makes this an issue with very large political, economic, and public health implications. … It’s going to take a while to make sure, but if things continue along this path, there could be reasons for a large change in the industrialized human diet.

He links to a paper on fructose vs glucose and the takeaway seems to be that fructose makes you feel less full, not more. The opposite effect from glucose.

Read the complete post for a much more detailed analysis, but the use of HFCS will, I hope, come under a great deal more scrutiny.
