Can confirm: HFCS makes everything taste awful and I feel awful afterwards. It also doesn't satisfy my hunger/thirst the way cane sugar does, which is very concerning.

I only ever buy CocaCola (on special occasions) when it's imported from Mexico, since that's still made with cane sugar. This is nuts since it 1) costs more 2) is an American company whose product is being shipped back to us 3) is a superior product but has to be made elsewhere for "reasons."
