Light corn syrup is a clear, sweet syrup made from cornstarch, while dark corn syrup is similar but has a darker color and a richer flavor due to the addition of molasses or caramel. Light corn syrup is often used in recipes where a mild sweetness is desired, while dark corn syrup is typically used for its deeper flavor in recipes like baked goods and sauces. Nutritionally, both types are similar, primarily composed of sugars.
Karo Syrup is light corn syrup. Unless you buy the dark one.
3 parts light corn syrup, 1 part molasses

Yes, corn syrup is a sweet liquid - it's the same as glucose syrup. Whereas cornflour is a white powder (used for thickening sauces), and is not sweet in the same way that corn syrup is. Corn syrup is entirely sugar based (like molasses), whereas corn flour is a flour. Corn syrup and corn flour are not interchangable, (in the same way that you would not substitute honey for wheatflour).
Yes
"Light" here is used in the color sense, i.e. the opposite of "dark." The "corn" part is because it's made from cornstarch. "Syrup" should be obvious. It's mainly glucose and water.
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.
it will tell you on the bottle
Yes back in the day they used pure cane sugar and now we use either corn syrup or more recently high fructose corn syrup
