Obesity and the causes, which are proven to be HFCS, food additives, and GMO's.

Obesity has existed before any of these even became abundant in diets.

I posted an article that linked high levels of fructose to obesity and diabetes.

Duh? ANYTHING that causes obesity can be linked with diabetes

There is no one in your GI tract that is saying picking out which material is good or not. Most of what you eat gets into your body and if your body doesn't recognize it or doesn't use it, it goes into fat deposits and festers.

Really? And here I thought that they were secreted into feces and urine.

And since it seems that you only care about videos/articles etc., I'll be quoting the obvious from few articles:

Like sugar, honey and some fruit juices, high fructose corn syrup contains almost equal portions of fructose and glucose. Glucose has been shown to have a tempering effect on specific metabolic effects of fructose," Erickson says in a statement.

"New research continues to confirm that high fructose corn syrup is no different from other sweeteners. It has the same number of calories as sugar and is handled similarly by the body."

But Sandon says there is some evidence that high fructose corn syrup breaks down differently in the body than other sugars.

Madelyn Fernstrom, PhD, CNS, agrees that demonizing one type of sugar misses the point. "Everything in moderation," she says. "We are blaming individual sugars or individual fats when we should be focusing on calories. If someone drinks a 64-ounce soda, who cares if it is high-fructose corn syrup or cane sugar? It's still about 800 calories."

“There are lots of people out there who want to demonize fructose as the cause of the obesity epidemic,” she said. “I think it may be a contributor, but it’s not the only problem. Americans are eating too many calories for their activity level. We’re overeating fat, we’re overeating protein; and we’re overeating all sugars.”
