Almost all the sweeteners are loaded with fructose (or sucrose that is half fructose). Honey, agave, etc, they’re all about half fructose. The clear Karo brand corn syrup is straight glucose — no fructose. It’s the only sweetener in the store that is fructose free.

High fructose corn syrup (glucose and fructose) is the same as corn syrup (just glucose). HFCS has had some of its glucose turned into fructose.

Don’t talk to me about the bizarre sweeteners like mannitol, saccharine, stevia, etc. They’re worse than fructose.

I’ve found that I have keep my carbs low in general. No more big portions of bread, pasta, potatoes, etc.

Mostly anything processed. Salad dressings, coffee creamers, bread ....
You have to read labels. High fructose and partially/ydrogenated oils are in so many things. The 2 together keep Big Pharma in business.

More here and lots more out there

Cane sugar contains as much fructose as HFCS. The “high fructose” label distinguishes HFCS from regular sorn syrup (which contains no fructose).

Anything that uses sweeteners, because it’s cheaper than cane sugar due to government [Corn lobby] rule, not market rules..

Here is world prices for sugar:

Compare this to what YOU PAY at the grocery store for ‘domestic’ sugar..............

Getting more nutrition from food sounds like a great therapy for African starvation.

“Karo was advertised as wholesome and good-tasting, and and as having a large variety of uses. Karo is made from a blend of sugars from cornstarch and 15 to 20 percent glucose. There are two varieties: light, which is almost clear and has vanilla flavoring; and dark, which is brown with a flavor similar to molasses. Karo is distributed all over the United States for home use. It is a liquid sweetener used in cooking and is fat- and cholesterol-free.”

It appears to only have a little glucose.

Back in the day soda was sweetened with cane sugar. Not HFCS.

Interesting to note that Colorado is today the thinnest state in America but it is fatter than the fattest state (Mississippi) was in 1990.

Life is more enjoyable for a longer period of time if you eat healthy and avoid becoming diabetic.

I think you want this:

Glucose syrup, also known as confectioner’s glucose, is a syrup made from the hydrolysis of starch.

“It appears to only have a little glucose.”

From your own damn source!:
“While HFCS is comprised of approximately 45 percent glucose and 55 percent fructose (the exact percentage of fructose can vary depending on the product), plain corn syrup is simply glucose...”
