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.

You can eat a diet of home made pasta and perogies and eat organic strawberries, bananas and granola by the pound, will an overweight person lose weight doing that? Not a fucking chance. Why? it's loaded with sugar, is there HFCS in it? who gives a shit? sugar makes you gain weight and a diet high in ANY sugars is going cause weight gain no matter how much you exercise. Carb control is not a fad, it is the only way that works effectively whether you are a bodybuilder in a cut or someone who needs to lose 100+ lbs.
I would never mock someone for being fat, I would happily help them with it though--and I have. Just by changing the timing of when you eat these things you can make a big impact.
