I laughed too hard at this. Why all the salty dogs downvoting? I thought we were here for the truth! I know someone who eats the Karo high fructose corn syrup on their pancakes like fucking maple syrup.
I know! It was a serious scientific point, our Western diets have unbenkownst to most of us been polluted with artificial garbage by big food conglomerates, and so it is being passed on through breast-feeding, which many women think they're doing for the best.
Are you sure it's "high" fructose syrup? There is a regular fructose syrup which is actually okay, in moderation. It's used in candies for its high boiling point and as a topping (pancakes) or in recipes because of its texture.
It's the "high" (highly processed) fructose corn syrup that is bad for us and can cause non-alchohol liver disease. Our bodies can process the regular fructose syrup but has trouble processing the high fructose syrup, thus causing liver damage.
That said, maple syrup has other nutrients and after having the real thing on pancakes, it's hard to go back.
I did thirty years before I realized it was very bad. I never had maple syrup until maybe five years ago. In the south we didn’t have maple syrup. In fact maple syrup wasn’t in our stores until the last five years. Most people I know still use syrups like log cabin and that’s just as bad. Many of my old family recipes have karo syrup as an ingredient. The family peanut brittle was always cooked with karo. I haven’t cooked it in years. When I cook again I’ll use maple or honey.

I used to eat that shit too. Then I realized it was killing me.
