Also, but has nothing to do taste wise. But fructose is a big cause for obesity because it has to get processed by the liver. The liver can't break down fat and sugar at the same time. Also fructose doesn't release insulin, when insulin is released it can help with satiety.
Therefore, HFCS coke you will drink more(and eat more) and get fatter.
Right, that's why although I slightly prefer the taste of HFCS, I opt for real sugar if available. The jury is still out on how much better it really is, but the whole reason that HFCS exists to begin with is BS, which is enough to avoid it on principle alone :D
