45 People Are Sharing the Things That Are Hard Truths, But People Refuse to Acknowledge

Here’s one of those where the person who wrote it is fiercely certain that everyone else is wrong and that they are right, but, well, they might be entirely wrong about that. The truth is, there’s no clear-cut answer on high fructose corn syrup.

It’s in everything, and for a while, no one cared, and all of a sudden people started insisting that it’s absolutely terrible for you. But we don’t actually know one way or the other. The current scientific consensus is that we don’t have any evidence that it’s worse for you than regular sugar. I guess the moral of this story is that just because someone is certain they know something’s true, doesn’t necessarily mean that the something actually is true.
