Chicago BBQ is Better than Memphis BBQ

I won't argue about most of the things mentioned in this article, but all i have to say is, you're wrong about the Ribs. The first time I had ribs at Neely's I was so shocked because I had never envisioned ribs to be this good. I will defend their ribs to my grave. Everything else about memphis bbq may be overrated, and hell the pulled pork and brisket at Neely's was below average in my opinion, but damn, those ribs. Can't stop thinking about them. There's no way anything in Chicago comes close, sorry.

That and the fact that it's used in everything from your sandwich bread to your sports drinks makes the slightly higher fructose levels significant when taken into account as part of your entire diet. Fructose is the stuff we get from fruits, glucose from sweeteners, altering that balance is what leads to the health concerns.
