Every time someone says that, the people with a hobby-horse to ride come out and beat on the person for a bit. Especially if they imply that honey (no, sorry, the correct term now is HFCS) isn't the Devil's own temptation sent to corrupt and impurify our precious bodily fluids.

Indeed. The reason why I don't like HFCS is because its presence in a product says, "to make our profit margin as large as possible, we used a bunch of artifical ingredients that are slightly cheaper than the real things. that's just how much we care about you, the consumer." Have you ever heard anyone say, "we use HFCS because it tastes better than cane sugar?" Nope. So why use it?
