OTOH I gained 13 lbs in an 18 month period even though I religiously
avoided all HFCS-containing food/drink, and have done so for years.

(I have since lost 9 of those back though.)

I tend to agree that HFCS calories are somewhat worse for your metabolism
than the same calories in other carbs, due to a few particularly bad
metabolic pathways they encourage.
