HFCS is not some universal evil. I have a few minor digestive issues, and some food allergies, so it's difficult to find new foods I can eat. I'm far from overweight, and I'm happy when I can pack a few more calories into a meal. HFCS is a good thing for my diet, then.

As long as whole foods, rather than processed foods, are the bulk of your diet, and you eat enough fresh fruits and greens, you've probably got enough fiber and micronutrients, and you don't need to worry if you eat a dessert that is devoid of both and full of HFCS.

If you're hypoglycemic, scrawny, or healthy, HFCS in moderation is probably beneficial.
