I get that it's almost everywhere and it's basically bad for you because of the high sugar content, but aside from that, what is the conspiracy behind?
What else is going on there?
QRD on Corn Syrup?

High fructose corn syrup is very different than corn syrup.
Do some research

It's not that it has high sugar content, so does cane sugar. The problem is that the body doesn't metabolize HFCS in the same way that it would cane sugars and it causes irrational spikes in blood sugar and subsequent spikes in insulin production that leads to diabetes over a long enough timeline.
Because its production is subsidized by the federal government, it's cheaper than sugar for food manufacturers to use in products. So American foods are significantly sweeter than European foods with a sweetener that is less healthy for the body.
A fatty in America is like 5 times more likely to develop diabetes than a fat European.

Hence why I asked, burger.

It's the latest boogeyman of the diet freaks. They were afraid of fats, then of sugars, now of HFCS and gluten and whatever. Don't be a retard, sugar spikes are obviously bad for you, no matter the source. Cane sugar coke is as bad as the HFCS coke.

>what is the conspiracy behind?
Essentially the USA backed itself into a corner with corn subsidies, so it could literally have a 100% death rate after 20 years and they'd still be feeding people this shit

They take starch from corn and hit it with some enzymes to break the starch down into free glucose and then they hit it with another enzyme to convert the free glucose to fructose in the case of HFCS. The final product is a mixture of partially digested starches, free glucose, and then fructose as well. The calorie estimates are regularly lower than the actual content because they don't do a very good job accounting for the starch calories. The starch also is capable of fueling pathogenic gut bacteria. Also, the initial processing and removal of starch from corn is probably rife with contaminants. I think corn starch tends to have high levels of residual mercury or some heavy metal from the extraction process..
So it's nasty.

>Mercury contamination of food products as a result of the use of mercury contaminated HFCS seems like a very real possibility. With daily per capita consumption of HFCS in the US averaging about 50 grams and daily mercury intakes from HFCS ranging up to 28 μg, this potential source of mercury may exceed other major sources of mercury especially in high-end consumers of beverages sweetened with HFCS.

Spoonfeeding is not research, nigger. Use a search engine or go nig somewhere else. Not our fault you're illiterate.

This is why I want to get into making my own beverages (mainly beer, but I would like to learn how to make soda for good measure even though I only drink it sparingly because I'm not a mcfatfuck)

It's not just that it's sugar, it's that you're taking in a huge imbalance of fructose and glucose. Fructose is used for tasting sweet, glucose is for energy, like carbohydrates. Added sugars are bad for you (compared to say having a diet high in fresh fruit, which has a lot of sugar, but isn't necessarily unhealthy). But high-fructose corn syrup, which is cheaply made in the US because we have a surplus of corn, is extra bad, because it's not balanced. You're sending signals to your metabolism that confuse it

Cane sugar is more expensive because the sugar lobby has for decades lobbied to keep the prices high. We literally pay twice as much for cane sugar in the USA because of it:
"The United States Department of Agriculture administers a program to ensure a price floor for sugarcane and sugar beet producers by limiting the amount of sugar that can be produced. It does this using:[7]
Loans to producers for price support
Limits on the amount of sugar each producer can sell
An import quota on foreign-made sugar
A program to convert excess sugar to ethanol fuel, when the other tools are not effective
In August 2014, the United States imposed import tariffs on Mexican sugarcane after U.S. farmers complained that Mexican sugar was flooding the market. After the government of Mexico objected, the two countries came to an agreement in December 2014, in which the U.S. would drop the tariffs while the Mexican government would enforce limits on sugar exports to the U.S."

Starch is nearly glucose.
Corn is the cheapest source of starch known to man. It's actually cheaper to grow the corn for the starch, convert the starch to glucose using heat, and hydrogen chloride and sodium carbonate/hydroxide, than to grow sugarcane and process it. But glucose syrup, what's in your image there as plain corn syrup, is not very stable under cooking and storage, so they add fructose, a liver-toxic monosaccharide, to it for stability.
Jace Wood
Corn syrup is goy slop. The only reason it's used is because it's cheaper than cane sugar. High fructose corn syrup shouldn't be consumed by anyone either. Banish the sugar Jew from your life and watch how much better your health becomes. Putting that shit in everything should be punishable by death.

wrong corn syrup

Yeah sure, idiot, I forgot I could just check the WHO website to "learn the factzzz".

my xoomer father made us use this shit on pancakes because he was too cheap to buy maple syrup
fuck that nigger that gains goblin ass faggot
Logan Myers
Fucks with body and brain chemistry like cocaine. Peaks and troughs. You take other shit like caffeine and sleep aids to try and balance. Not to mention your body craves it after exposure. You consume x3 as much shit than if you just didn't consume HFCS. It exists primarily in the us because of globalism and the consumer based economy meme. I'll keep smoking cigars but I won't touch that shit.

If you can't figure out how to read and differentiate source materials you are clearly a nigger and precisely who needs to devour HFCS.
