As a lifelong American, I'll tell you that corn syrup certainly seems sneakier. Things that use plain old sugar will fill me up, but corn syrup just kinda loads those calories in, and you don't notice.

HFCS (High-Fructose Corn Syrup) has replaced most sugar in processed baked goods / cookies.

Just go to the cookie aisle of your local super market and check most of the brand names.

I refuse to buy those cookies and baked goods that use HFCS.

It seems that only the store made brand of cookies use real sugar now.

It doesn't really matter. The most commonly used HFCS is almost identical to sugar, so both are bad in large amounts. While there are more dangerous versions of HFCS, which has even more fructose, is rarely if ever used.

Taste for one.

The human body is better at breaking down normal sugar than HFCS.

I haven't found it the ingredient listed yet but gonna look at pop tarts and some more typical junk food sweets to see if it really is replacing sugar.

Taste wise though how would you say they're difference? Can you tell?

Isn't that actually better for the human body? If your body doesn't break it down and doesn't absorb it and it passes through your body, you skip the calories or whatever.

Frutose has to be converted to glucose to be of any use, which causes metabolic shenanigans in the meantime. It's essentially as bad as ethanol, without even getting drunk out of the deal.

Table sugar is half poison.

It's essentially glucose and fructose out on a date.

Sugar is half fructose anyways and studies show hfcs acts basically the same as sugar, so long as it is 50/50 hfcs instead of 90 or whatever.
