Yes, fat-free corn syrup is available and is commonly used as a sweetener in various food products. It is primarily composed of glucose and is derived from corn starch, making it free of fat. While it adds sweetness and moisture, it does not contribute any fat to the diet. However, it's important to note that it is still high in sugar and should be consumed in moderation.
The important thing about corn syrup is that it causes a spike in insulin production. This triggers the body to start storing fat, fat that is then hard to get rid of. Avoid corn syrup whenever you can. If you can enjoy a similar product that doesn't contain corn syrup, why wouldn't you?
The sugar and corn syrup solids provide the sweet taste. Neither of these contains fat, so technically it is still "fat-free", but that certainly does not mean that it is not bad for you.
Fat and high fructose corn syrup
No. high fructose corn syrup and corn syrup are distinctly different products. When Karo was introduced in 1902, it did not contain high fructose corn syrup. Sometime in the 1970's, it was added to the Karo light and pancake syrups. As a result of consumer requests, the high fructose corn syrup has now been removed and all Karo products are high fructose corn syrup free.

Technically no. Most Breyers flavors are now what's known as "Frozen Dairy Dessert". That contains more corn syrup then cream, and can't be labelled as ice cream due to the lack of milk fat in the product. So most of their line up does have corn syrup. But the few flavors (8 I think) that are still real ice cream don't have corn syrup. I hope that isn't confusing. Each flavor on their website has nutritional information also if memory serves.
