Question: What's the difference between sugar and corn syrup!?
How do sugar and corn syrup compare in regard to sweetness and calories if given equal volumes!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Sugar is Sucrose which is essentially a fructose molecule bonded to a glucose molecule!.

Corn syrup is mainly fructose with some glucose as well but they are not bonded, they are kept separate!. Since fructose is actually sweeter than sucrose, corn syrup is far sweeter than sugar!. But, since essentially the constituent molecules for each or the same, they yield very similar calories, though corn syrup would break down quicker in your systemWww@FoodAQ@Com
