Is there really a difference between corn syrup and high fructose syrup ?!
i don't see any differenceWww@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
yes, there is!.
High-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is a variant in which other enzymes are used to convert some of the glucose into fructose!. The resulting syrup is sweeter and more soluble!.
also, HFCS, is extremely bad for the health!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Does this help!? See info from website below:
"Corn Syrup
The development of the various types of corn syrups, maltodextrins, and high-fructose corn syrup from corn starch sources could be called one of the greatest achievements in the sugar industry!.
Corn starch can be hydrolyzed into glucose relatively easily, but it was not until the 1970s that it became a commercially major product bringing about changes in the food industry!.
The starch is processed and refined from the kernels of corn by using a series of steeping (swelling the kernel), separation, and grinding processes to separate the starch from the other parts of the kernel which is used for animal feed!.
The starch is hydrolyzed using acid, acid-enzyme, or enzyme-enzyme catalyzed processes!. The first enzyme is generally a thermally stable alpha amylase which produces about 10-20 % glucose!. Further treatment with the enzyme glucoamylase yields 93-96% glucose!. The final Corn Syrup (glucose syrup) products include: dried corn syrup, maltodextrin, and dextrose (glucose)!. "Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yes!. High fructose syrup is derived from corn syrup!. Corn syrup is turned into high fructose syrup via an enzymatic action that converts the dextrose sugar from the corn syrup into fructose sugar!. High fructose syrup is much sweeter as a result, which is one reason you see it in sodas!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Yes high fructose is saturated with not natural fats adn sugars, and generaly used in sodas!. Corn syrup is bad for you too, btu generaly the healthier way to go than high fructose!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
high fructose syrup has more fructose LOLWww@FoodAQ@Com
