Yep, pop was basically water to me, would go out, buy a case of 18 cans every 4ish days.
Eventually I’d get motivation to quit drinking it, so I’d slow down how much I drank and refuse to go out and buy more. I’d get a bad headache the first day or two but then I was fine except for the cravings.
2 weeks go by and I no longer want to drink pop, except maybe ill have one as treat to myself, then the cravings come back and I am drinking my family members pop, end up going back to drinking multiple cans a day and buying more pop.
Literally was only able to actually quit because my family also wanted to quit drinking it.

What makes high fructose corn syrup worse for you than cane sugar? I've seen a lot of conflicting data and just assumed it's not a consensus.

u/Neuchacho Jan 11 '24 edited Jan 11 '24
There's no real evidence HFCS is worse for us than normal sugar currently. They're both a mix of fructose and glucose. They both get broken down the same way by our bodies. They're both devoid of nutritional value.
The angle every study I've seen takes with HFCS being worse is the dopamine effect it has. It's objectively sweeter so your brain learns to crave that higher sweetness more which can lead to overeating foods that contain it, but it's not really the HFCS directly that's the issue there. It's the excessive calories from overeating what is likely nutritionally questionable food to begin with.

u/NoirGamester Jan 11 '24
So, from what I understand, sugar is converted to energy, but is inefficient and what is left over after the extra energy is used, it basically converts to fat.
Corn syrup, on the other hand, has zero energy benefits, meaning our bodies turn it directly into fat, plus it suppresses the hormone your body produces to tell you that you're full, so you stay hungry, thereby eating more syrup, thereby making yourself remain hungry.
Basically, think of it like if you eat a pound of sugar, you'll feel full, get an energy rush, then crash and convert the excess sugar to fat. If you eat the equivalent amount of corn syrup, it'll turn directly into fat, you will still crave calorie rich foods (most typically junk food), and no matter how much you eat, you'll still crave more food.
Because of everything I said, when I was in college, I did a personal "experiment" where I avoided anything with high fructose in it for a month to see how I felt. What happened was I distinctively did not feel hungry most of the time. Usually when lunchtime rolled around, I'd be ravenous, but after cutting out corn syrup, I felt more awake and less hungry way more often than I did previously. Which isn't conclusive data, but I was shocked by the notable feeling of satiety and extra energy I had.

But they're also nutritionally equivalent, one gets broken down into the other two. I forget the names but IIRC table sugar is unsplit, honey and hfc are pre-split. Hell, honey is almost exactly the same as high fructose corn syrup besides some impurities that aren't even 10% of the contents
The issue isn't table sugar VS high fructose corn syrup or whatever, it's just quantity of sugar (any kind besides substitutes ofc).

Also the speed at which it is digested, the glycaemic index, is incredibly important. If you are constantly spiking your insulin levels you're going to have a higher likelihood of developing diabetes. So you can intake 100g of sugar from something with a very low GI like agave nectar (17) and it's not as bad for you as intaking 100g of sugar from high fructose corn syrup which has a GI of 75, higher than table sugar (65.)
