Quote: According to one chem site I checked out ...
Quote: High fructose corn syrups are classified according to the fructose content (i.e. 42%, 55%, 90%).
So glucose-fructose syrup with a fructose content of 42% is actually still a kind of HFCS...just a less sweet version. I guess our problem is that they don't specify the fructose content of the compound on the ingredient list.
In other words, glucose-fructose is just a sub-class of HFCS so that companies don't have to come out and say it is HFCS? Could this be because many people are now realizing HFCS isn't good for your health and are trying to avoid it? In that way, it seems that these classifications and labels are there to help companies, unless consumers take the time to learn what each "sub-class" of HFCS really means. But how many of us were even aware that there is a variety of HFCS? This is definitely annoying!
