I really like nature valley bars, and it's the middle ingrediant, and I hear it was bad for you, so what's so bad about it?

Diets which are high in sugars or other sweeteners are generally not a good idea. There have been a number of HFCS studies done which are somewhat ambiguous in their conclusions, but in general, moderate what you eat and it shouldn't be a problem. Here's the Wikipedia link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_fructose_corn_syrup#Health_effects

When you eat healthy calories your body recognizes them. When you eat high fructose corn syrup your brain does not recognize the calories as food. As a result of this your body wants to keep eating. So, foods with high fructose corn syrup dont satisfy your body, and you end up eating more. But eating a little is fine. It's in a lot of foods. Its hard to avoid it all together.
