This is to open up an honest debate into the scientific rationale to why High Fructose Corn Syrup may have been a mistake. This is only part 1 of my collection of publically available unedited studies on the subject. Please feel free to re-post, as long as you link me as the original source. This will allow the reader to be aware of future releases as they become available.
