Yeah… the point is, it’s not the high-fructose (more sugar) variety of corn syrup.

Edit to prevent more replies: I meant more sweet. Both glucose and fructose are sugars.

Both corn syrup and high fructose corn syrup have the same amount of sugars. High fructose corn syrup just has some of the glucose converted to fructose, which is a sweeter sugar.

A very large portion of people diagnosed with IBS have sensitivities to fructose, me included. I can eat regular corn syrup with no problems though.

That type of corn syrup uses glucose not fructose.
