    The public perception got murdered with the name… Should have called it something like Sucrose type Corn Syrup.

    When people hear High Fructose Corn Syrup, they usually stop listening at the word “High” if you’re luck, maybe Fructose, but never the full term. The term isn’t comparing it to other sources of Fructose, but just simply to regular Corn syrup, which is almost 100% glucose. HFCS just turns some of the glucose to fructose to make something equivalent to sucrose.

    Sugar is unhealthy, but it doesn’t really matter where it comes from.
