because in the US the government subsidises corn, which means it pays farmers to grow corn and now our country has so much corn that they dont know what to do with it so they experiment with it and made high fructose corn syrup and because it is cheaper than sugar because there is so much of it, big compaines like nabisco use corn syrup in the US because its cheaper.Also, it is illegal in some countries.
Well, darling, high fructose corn syrup is made from corn starch and has a higher fructose content than regular corn syrup. Invert sugar, on the other hand, is created by splitting sucrose into its components, glucose, and fructose. So, in a nutshell, one comes from corn and the other is a result of breaking down table sugar. Hope that clears things up for you, sugar!
The jury is still out on this one. The safest bet is that too much of anything is generally unhealthy.
High fructose corn syrup, HFCS, is a blend of two simple sugars, fructose and glucose. Both sugars have the same chemical formula, C6H12O6, but have unique chemical structures. "Regular" fructose, found in fruit or sucrose ( table sugar) has the same chemical formula. Sucrose, however, is a disaccharide of fructose and glucose which means that the fructose and glucose are chemically linked. Therefore, the ratio of the fructose to glucose in sucrose is precisely 50:50, 1:1, and the %fructose cannot exceed 50%. This is not the case with HFCS. Depending on the needs of the manufacturers the %fructose can range from 42% to 90%. Dairy and baked products use 42%, Pepsi and Coke use 55% fructose, and low-cal products may contain as much as 90% fructose.
Yes. Aside from being nothing but empty sugars, high fructose corn syrup has been linked to gastrointestinal problems as well. It's not as though corn syrup will harm you much more than any other empty sugar, but a person consuming large amounts of corn syrup is replacing calories that could have been from nutritious fruits and vegetables with a nothing less substitute. Answer: HFCS is banned in UK and about to be in Europe.
High fructose corn syrup is a caloric sweetener made from corn. It has a composition that is similar to sugar or sucrose.

HFCS-42 is made up of 42% fructose and the remaining 58% is primarily glucose. It is used in condiments, baked goods and fruit-flavored beverages.
