Did you know the first two steps in refining cornstarch into high fructose corn syrup are identical to the first two steps in refining cornstarch into ethyl alcohol aka ethanol?

Did you know HFCS has the same effect on your liver as alcohol? Makes sense given the answer to the previous question is "yes". Interesting that a fuel of the future is so close to the liquid sweetener of today.
