Since at least 70% to 80% or more of the corn grown in the United States is GMO, it is likely that HFCS (high fructose corn syrup) sold in the U.S. is GMO.

What is HFCS?

HFCS stands for high fructose corn syrup. There are two main types of HFCS used in foods and beverages: HFCS-55 and HFCS-42. The numbers represent the amount of fructose in the product. HFCS-55 is composed of 55% fructose with the rest mainly glucose. HFCS-42 is 42% fructose with the rest mainly glucose. HFCS-55 is equally sweet as sugar and is used in sodas and other carbonated beverages as a replacement for sugar. HFCS-42 is slightly less sweet and is used in condiments, dairy products and baked goods. High fructose corn syrup has 4 calories per gram, which is the same as other carbohydrates and caloric sweeteners like sugar, honey, fruit juice concentrates, fructose, etc.
