Try going without any food or drink that contains HFCS and you will notice the difference within 2 week. After a month, personally, I lost 16lbs.

It's one of those, I think, that people need to try out themselves to believe it, rather than reading articles all day long.
I imagine I'd probably feel a lot better and lose a lot of weight, and I've tried to wean myself off it, just can't cut it...
There is type of sugar, only real sugar and in moderation. Sodium content. And of course fat.

I drank 6 cans of sprite a day when I was 13-14, and was borderline obese. It pretty much ruined my childhood and scarred me from all the bullying and abuse at that age. It's all I really knew though because soda was literally all we had to drink unless I wanted tap water, which as you say, is gross. Get a Brita filter, it makes a huge difference and makes you actually want to drink water.
If I ever have kids, I'm making sure to never keep soda in the house, and to always drink a lot of water around my kids to promote a healthy lifestyle. I never want my kids to have to suffer like I did growing up.
I'll drink a soda as a treat once every few weeks, but I'll never buy a six-pack (or more) of soda ever again. Drinking too much literally makes me feel sick now and I never drink it to satisfy thirst.

Even bottled water doesn't taste good to me, I keep using the water flavor, but I have to use so much of it, and I keep running out...
I at least cut out the Mountain Dew Livewire, which was costing me at least $3/day...

I can go without sugar beer however... I don't know.
I'm amazed how quickly I went from hating beer to loving it.

I have a few other things that I could change personally first that would probably have larger effects, but it is a large one, I admit...
I only drank coffee a few times in my life and it was when I was working two jobs, and one of them I made coffee all night/morning, and haven't touched the stuff since I stopped working both.

It even explains the corn industry's involvement in misinformation.

Corn syrup is sugar. It's fructose. Do you eat apples? Exact same sugar in those. It's only marginally different in composition of saccharides from table sugar. There's no magic involved: it's sugar.

To put your theory to the test I don't think I have had much of anything with HFCS in a little over two months now. I have lost a whopping 8 pounds in those two months. Granted I have the occasional Monster (the absolute zero ones) in the morning to get me going. Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut, I have also been eating very healthy and exercising daily.
I'm not advocating for HFCS or anything, it is nothing but pure carbs and empty calories. But it isn't exactly the devil either. A soda here or there wont be a massive impact. People who are drinking them every day (or 3+ times a day even) though are where the whole hate thing comes from.
Everything in moderation. I don't understand what is so hard about that philosophy.
I can't drink those things, they make me want to vomit.
Now as for soda: I went from 2-3 2 liters a day, down to about half a one to one, depending on the day, for awhile I was down to 20oz's.
Right now I'm below 2 liters.
I need to start chewing more big red, it makes me eat/drink less.

I never said how much soda I drank per day, just that after a month of just cutting out HFCS alone, I lost 16lbs. How you make stuff up after that is beyond me.
It was roughly anywhere from 4-7 12 ounce servings a day. I replaced it with 4-5 16 ounce servings of Snapple per day and still lost the weight.
But you know what, keep on taking all the HFCS you want. It's your health, not mine.

How about just water? Who wants to drink milk while eating chicken nuggets or a Jamaican beef patty anyway? I always hates that. Milk only goes with peanutbutter and jelly or baked desserts. It's a terrible beverage unless you're trying to be a bodybuilder, it's just not thirst quenching. Just give kids water or if they want flavours give them some water beverage that's verrrry lightly sweetened and fortified with minerals kind of like vitamin water but it doesn't have to be a name brand. Something light in sugar but high in minerals, like a powerade/vitamin water or something. Honestly there's really not much sugar in a half pint of chcofolaye milk, those cartons are small as hell and it's still coupled with protein which slows the sugar's entry into the blood stream. Rather have kids consume sugar if its paired with vitamins and protein and potassium than eating a cake or brownie which is loaded with saturated fats and preservatives.

Yes to all of this.

Where on earth did you pull those numbers from? You must not know about the scientific method.
Scientific enough for you?
How 'bout this: look at the long list of references used by your HuffPost sensationalist. I'll spare you the trouble: one is a study about mercury presence in sugar sources (irrelevant to obesity, but a fair point) and the other is an article making a tentative link between corn syrup in soda and obesity published 7 years prior. Where's the citations for the bulk of his claims? Up his ***.

Was more pointing out the 14 carbs per serving. And I would wager most people would drink the whole bottle within an hour long lunch. And the irony of it being a healthy alternative to milk.
Edit to clarify wording.

America = freedom
freedom = choice
choice = ban chocolate milk?
Where I live if someone would even mention this, they would be laughed out of the PTA meeting.

Don't sell the big bottle, then? Or use the sugar-free versions, though someone else will pitch a fit about how sugar alternatives give cancer and rape children and got George Bush/Barack Obama elected (delete whichever you like better).
*** eat food. I will say that the only points in that HuffPost article worth highlighting are the ones hidden at the bottom in between the conspiracy theory garbage:
1.) There's too much damned sugar in everything.
2.) Sugary stuff tends to be nutritionally poor.
Chocolate milk is the exception to #2.

Like I said, it's your health, not mine. I told my personal experience and you try to correct it? No, thanks, I'll stick my diet and eat healthy.
Imagine if I started to go on about the dangers of artificial sweeteners. Oy vey!

Simmer down Onorgul, I think I'm agreeing with you on the whole subject.

'cause, you know, anecdote means bugger all compared to science. Which is ironic when you pitch a fit at me about the scientific method. But if you're able to run a half-marathon or bike 50 miles or squat 200 lbs., you're probably healthy. If you're just going by having a 30' waist and an arbitrary BMI while huffing and puffing to climb 5 flights of stairs, though...
