Too bad HFCS isn't going anywhere.

End all farm subsidies
It was the combination of corn subsidies and NAFTA that started the mass illegal immigration issue. The US subsidized corn is sold in Mexico cheaper than Mexican farmers can grow it putting most small farms out of business.

Stop using logic with these retards. And you'll lose Nebraska Missouri and Kansas too.
But hey frick the farm economy.

You’re a liberal, you just won’t admit it.
You want guaranteed wages and subsidies for your industry

More corn for whiskey.
None for drinks or gasoline.

Does the chemistry you describe produce any byproducts that might affect taste?

Lots of corn acerage will always be needed bc a huge amount of corn grown is specifically used as livestock feed.
I do agree we grow too much corn as it’s heavily subsidized and used for HFCS and ethanol.
These subsidies and increase use of corn is why we’ve lost tens of millions of acres of grasslands in the midwestern/prairie states. It went from ranches to corn fields.
Not to hijack this thread, but it would be nice to see some of that land return to grasslands and be ranched which in turn helps more species as their “natural” habitat returns.

Corn or sugarcane, a can of coke is still going to contain wayyyyy too much sugar for there to be any difference in terms of health.
I don't drink cokes for health reasons; I drink them for the taste. Cane sugar wins that battle hands down!

No because it is a catalytic reaction, so it is nothing but sucrose and water in and glucose and fructose out:
C12H22O11 + H2O ? C6H12O6 + C6H12O6
One of the above products is glucose and one is fructose and although thay have the same chemical formula, they are isomers with glucose having an aldehyde group, while fructose has a ketone group. Same atoms just arranged in a different way.
ETA:
I should add the caveat that someone knowledgable about chemistry and our sugar science might pop in with the numbers 42 and 55 and another disaccharide and then we are going to go down a rabbit hole including things like a-1,4-glycosidic bonds and anomeric carbon but I think that is beyond the scope of the thread and would only confuse people not decently well versed in organic chemistry.

Farm sugar cane or sugar beets you idiots. Adapt to changing markets like real businesses do or die.
This is the correct answer. Just look at all the Louisiana rice, cotton, and soybean land that is now planted in sugar.

Yes but NAFTA exacerbated the problem with no tariffs or fees on exported corn to Mexico.
