High-Fructose Corn Syrup

Several of my friends have gone on household-jihad against High-Fructose Corn Syrup.

Can anyone explain to me why this is the new Antichrist? What's the deal, here?

Thanks!

I recommend this Junk Food Science article on high-fructose corn syrup for some useful debunking - they're pretty good for most sorts of food-related debunking, actually.

It's moment like these that make me love it. ;)

When I read her article, it sounded like Thank You for Smoking.
