If you search the board you will see Mother Linda's website has been mentioned many times before.

HFCS is not different from fructose. It contains fructose.

HFCS is a syrup composed of two sugars - glucose and fructose. In normal HFCS there is 45 grams of glucose and 55 grams of fructose per 100 grams. It contains 10 more grams of fructose compared to glucose per 100 grams.

Compare this to honey which typically contains 35 grams of glucose and 41 grams of fructose. It contains 6 grams more fructose than glucose.

People that are sensitive to fructose in HFCS are also sensitive to fructose in honey or any other food. An individual's sensitivity is determine by how much more fructose than glucose they can consume without experiencing IBS or IBS like symptoms.
