That's not the same as several times more. If I remember correctly, it was something along the lines of 500% more. It's a crazy amount of fructose. And there usually is very little fiber (which you'd get with fruits) to slow down the absorption rate.

HFCS isn't that different from sugar. The only real problem is that it's even cheaper than sugar.

Theoretically, you could use a bit less because it's a little bit sweeter than sugar, but no one seems to do that.

HFCS is a very cheap way to make your crappy product taste like something. That's why it's everywhere.
