High fuctose corn syrup (AKA corn sugar), is considered a trans fat. Just so you know, the commercials on TV about HFCS not being all that bad is not true. It may have as many calories as sugar, but in case you didn't know, it is used to fatten chicken livers for slautering. I don't eat anything with high fructose corn syrup in it. If you read an ingridients list, anything with HFCS in the first half of the list is no good, the bottom half is O.K. I go to Trader Joe's. They have all natural, organic foods. Plus, you can get HEALTHY sweet snacks there. SORRY FOR MESSIN UP UR BRAIN WITH ALL THIS HEALTHY TALK!

∙ 9y agoNo. Regular corn syrup is 10% fructose. High Fructose Corn Syrup (known in industry as "HFCS-55") is 55% fructose. The remainder in both products is glucose.
For comparison, white sugar is 50% fructose, and Agave syrup is 47%-56% frutose.

Is high fructose corn syrup a carbohydrate?
High fructose corn syrup, like other caloric sweeteners, contributes 4 calories per gram. It is not pure fructose. The most common types of high fructose corn syrup used in foods and beverages are HFCS-55 and HFCS-42. The number in the name denotes the percentage of fructose in the composition. So HFCS-55 is 55% fructose with the other 45% mainly glucose. HFCS-42 is 42% fructose with the other 58% mainly glucose. Most caloric sweeteners simply provide calories. Honey does have some protein, amino acids, vitamins and minerals, but all these components together add up to less than half of a percent (<0.5%). So you'd have to eat a lot to gain any nutritional benefit.

What country makes the most corn syrup?
The United States. We have more corn than almost all other nations combined. Corn capitol of the universe! Unfortunately, food producers discovered that corn syrup was cheaper than good ole' honest sugar, and so they started putting high-fructose corn syrup in our food. I mean, they put it in almost EVERYTHING. It's considerably difficult to find something that does NOT have high fructose corn syrup in it. It's not really good for you, and very fattening. They fatten us all up like a herd of cattle, and then they start screeching about how we're all obese. Maybe if they'd start producing REAL FOOD again, the way they used to...
