This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

For starters number one on the list, fructose corn syrup is specifically engineered just for those reasons. "Eating More"

"Artificial sweetener" usually means something that stimulates your taste buds like sugar but cannot be metabolically processed for energy like sugar. HFCS is still actually sugar.

It's called glucose-sucrose syrup and it is legal in the EU. You do have it you just call it something else. I can also be called isoglucose
