According to many researchers and doctors, corn sugar is not the same as cane sugar. Sugar is not sugar. Dr. Mark Hyman says that High Frutose Corn Syrup eats holes in the digestive track....it creates leaky gut.

"A Princeton University research team has demonstrated that all sweeteners are not equal when it comes to weight gain: Rats with access to high-fructose corn syrup gained significantly more weight than those with access to table sugar, even when their overall caloric intake was the same." http://www.princeton.edu/main/news/archive/S26/91/22K07/

Almost half of tested samples of commercial high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) contained mercury...http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/01/26/AR2009012601831.html

To make matters worse, some people don't absorb fructose correctly, aka malabsorption. So the more sugars they eat, including HFCS, the worse they become: Depression, Dyslexia, Schizophrenia, Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), ADHD. Your doctor can do a hydrogen breath test. These people tend to be deficient in zinc, folic acid, and tryptophan. Since the sugar is not absorbed, the person can suffer from hypoglysemia. All the undigested sugars can cause gut bacteria overgrowth. With low blood sugar, cortisol rises and begins to tear down muscle and store calories as fat. With malabsorption, some people lose the ability to digest grains and vegetables. Binge eaters should be checked by their doctor to see if they are malabsorbers.

People with irritable bowel syndrome may also be fructose malabsorbers.
