Exactly. It works like sugar, but your body doesn't process it as well. By only switching from high fructose corn syrup to natural sugar in her snacks and beverages, my SO's mom lost like 15 lbs, and she has a pretty big sweet tooth.

Real sugar (especially in soda) just tastes better and is much better for you. Real sugar is also more filling, so you don't eat as much of it.
