@Dutchess_III Different people have different tastes – personally, I had a good first experience with morning Cappuccino in Italy. I like what are nearly coffee-flavored milkshakes, mostly milk with some coffee, like a latte. I won’t drink it black.
As for high-fructose corn syrup, the issue is not just the calories or how fattening it is. It’s more about how it’s digested, how it impacts our organs, and what it does to our body & brain chemistry and appetites. There tend to be other chemicals in typical industrial HFC as well. Consuming too much HFC seems to many who have studied it to correlate to various serious health problems (e.g. heart disease, cancer, dementia, and liver failure).
The industrial food industry puts a lot of effort into disinformation campaigns including mailing doctors and creating misleading web sites claiming that HFC is just like sugar.
Google searches will bring up articles and books warning about HFC, and industrial propaganda saying not to worry because it’s just like sugar, only cheaper.
