Sodas and baked goods made with cane sugar taste better and are more satisfying to eat than ones made with HFCS.

And whenever I cook something at home do I reach for the handy HFCS when I need a sweetener? No, I use sugar. If I woudn't put it in the food I make why should I buy it in something at the store?
