The white beet sugar can be stored by the body in a way that makes it easy to use for energy, but the HFCS attaches to muscles making it extremely difficult to get rid of. Problem is most people don't know that HFCS can be found in everything from ice cream to ketchup and we consume it in a much larger amount than we think we do.

Simply put, education would be helpful.
