HFCS in-and-of itself bad for you. It's quantity that matters. Contrary to the anecdotal experiences of a few websites you might've visited, there are hundreds upon hundreds of cited, verifiable research studies on HFCS and the process involved in making it. It's not this this dangerous "unnatural" chemical that organic food nuts seem to believe it is.

All sugar is bad for you. It's empty calories and can cause a lot of different health problems if taken in excessive amounts. If your shortcut for reducing sugar intake is to cut high fructose corn syrup out of your diet, then I have no problem with that. But keep in mind that the organic food people don't really care about you. It doesn't matter to them if you live longer or are healthier. They want your money, and that's it; their favourite tactic for getting it is to spread the FUD around regarding non-organic foods.
