Corn syrup may not boost appetite, food intake

Now what will you believe?

"Though some have blamed the U.S. obesity problem on the corn syrup ubiquitous in processed foods, a new study casts some doubt on this idea.

Researchers found that high-fructose corn syrup did not differ from regular table sugar in its effects on people's appetite and food intake later in the day. They say the findings counter the argument that high-fructose corn syrup is contributing to the rise of obesity and type 2 diabetes...

"'These studies,' Akhavan and Anderson conclude, 'do not support the hypothesis that the replacement of sucrose with high-fructose corn syrup as a caloric sweetener has contributed to overeating and obesity because of differences in their short-term physiologic (effects).'"

How about these: here, here, here, here, here, and here?

More proof that we have no idea about what is a "healthy" food.
