Anyone have any information on this? How's it different from regular corn syrup?
Also, what's everyone's opinion on eggbeaters? Cause gas, upset stomach?

Regular corn syrup is safe. I still wouldn't go eating a ton of it, as it is a sugar, but fructose is a GI tract irritant, as I understand it, and so high-fructose corn syrup would be an irritant as well. Although, I have to admit that I'm ok with it in small doses... still, studies have pointed to HFCS as a major cause of obesity, so it's best to avoid it if at all possible.
Eggbeaters are basically egg whites, colored. If you can handle egg whites, you should be fine with Eggbeaters.

Thanks sugar! Haha, just kidding. I seem to be ok with regular sugar cause that's all I eat. Red meat has just started giving me problems so I have to stay away from that. As for egg whites, I've just stayed away from all eggs but I'll try the whites. Hopefully they're not as violent as the HFCS was. Thanks again!
