High Fructose Corn Syrup is particularly fattening and completely useless for the body. No redeeming nutritional value. Sure, Evaporated cane juice isn't on the top ten list of most healthy foods, but it's undeniably closer to "whole" than HFCS, and has some redeeming qualities, such as energy the body can use in a healthy fashion.
In fact, there's almost no use for corn in the diet. Humans don't digest it well. It's filler. Take popcorn from me with a fight, but i admit it's useless.
Sometimes, overanalyzing *any* food product will lead you to conclude that it's not good. If we did that with everything, we'd eat next to nothing. I mean, wheat and soy? So my analysis goes so far and then stops for my own sanity.
