The sugar you buy in the grocery store or market (powdered sugar, white granulated, brown sugar, etc.) is not made from corn stalks. They are made from either sugar cane or sugar beets. Corn syrup is made from the grain of field corn. That said, there are new cultivars of corn which have been bred and selected from tropical varieties to produce high levels of sugar in the stalks. In more northern areas of the US, these varieties will not produce an ear with grain, but will produce large of amounts of high-sugar-content biomass which would likely be moved into ethanol production. This is similar to the way Brazil uses sugar cane for ethanol production.

Is corn syrup solid a glucose polymer?
Corn syrup solid is not a glucose polymer; rather, it primarily consists of glucose and its derivatives in a syrup form. When processed, corn syrup can be concentrated and dried to create corn syrup solids, which retain the sweetness of glucose. While it contains glucose, it does not have the structural characteristics of a polymer, which would involve long chains of repeating units. Instead, corn syrup solids are mixtures of various sugars, primarily glucose, and some oligosaccharides.
Can glucose be derived from dietary protein?
no
What is the difference between corn sugar and cane sugar?

In terms of sweetness, both sugars are similar, but corn sugar is often used in processed foods and beverages, while cane sugar is more commonly used in baking and cooking.
