prolonged over-consumption of calories = weight gain. Too much weight gain = obesity. It doesn't matter if you over eat sugar, steak or apples.. if you eat more than you burn, you get fat.
HFCS issue is the amount of insulin needed to clear it from the blood. You can eat in a caloric deficit all day, and drink tons of soda. You won't end up fat, but will be diagnosed with diabetes. people sippin on pop all day or eating small sugary snacks will lead to insulin issues.
