| | High fructose corn syrup - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is a newer and sweeter form of corn syrup. | | | By increasing the proportion of fructose, a syrup is produced which is more comparable to an ordinary sugar (sucrose) syrup in its ratio of fructose to glucose and in its sweetness. | | | High fructose corn syrup is cited by some nutritionists as a leading cause of obesity and is linked to diabetes. |

| | Carbohydrates - Corn syrup |
| | High fructose corn syrups are classified according to the fructose content (i.e. | | | Fructose is 30% sweeter than sucrose, on a weight basis, and twice as soluble as glucose at low temperatures so a 50% conversion of glucose to fructose overcomes both problems giving a stable syrup that is as sweet as a sucrose solution of the same concentration. | | | For many purposes a 42% fructose syrup is perfectly satisfactory for use but it does not match the exacting criteria of the quality soft drink manufacturers as a replacement for sucrose in acidic soft drinks. |

| | Cool Running :: high fructose corn syrup |
| | Glucose-fructose syrup is not the same as high fructose corn syrup. | | | First of all, "corn syrup" is not even the same thing as "high fructose corn syrup" - as the name suggests, high fructose corn syrup is higher in fructose than regular corn syrup and is used because it is cheaper. | | | The third article states that corn syrup is called glucose-fructose syrup in Canada (but not in the US), which would lead me to speculate that if Gatorade makes a point of calling it glucose-fructose syrup, that it may be derived from corn, but has substantially different ratios of the two sugars. |

| | The Double Danger of High Fructose Corn Syrup |
| | High fructose corn syrup is the primary sweetener used in soft drinks, now readily available to children in school vending machines. | | | High fructose corn syrup is extremely soluble and mixes well in many foods. | | | Then sugar from corn—corn syrup, fructose, dextrose, dextrine and especially high fructose corn syrup (HFCS)—began to gain popularity as a sweetener because it was much less expensive to produce. |

| | High fructose corn syrup is a common liquid sweetener and is very similar to sucrose in sweetness. | | | Regular (non-diet) soft drinks and other refreshment beverages, such as ready-to-drink teas, in the U.S. today are sweetened with high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) or sucrose. | | | The HFCS used in beverages is called 42 HFCS or 55 HFCS, meaning it is 42 percent fructose or 55 percent fructose, with the remaining percentage being mainly glucose. |

| | You may already be familiar with the dangers of fructose that I’ve warned about in the past, but what you may not know is that high-fructose corn sweeteners that have been used to sweeten soft drinks and food since the 1970s are major contributors to the obesity epidemic in the United States. | | | Corn, and usually highly processed corn, has become a staple ingredient of the American diet. | | | However, eating a small piece of whole fruit, which contains natural fructose, is not likely to be a problem for most people because fresh fruits contain the enzymes, vitamins and minerals that are needed for the fructose to assimilate in the body. |
