"Any source of excess sugar contributes to obesity and diabetes, and singling out high-fructose corn syrup might distract consumers from the real health hazards posed by any and all added sugars, many dietitians now say"

The body doesn’t distinguish between the types of sugars that you consume; it uses sugars in the same way because most sugars are still processed from natural ingredients.
