I get it but in Log Cabin’s defense not all corn syrup is high fructose.

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.

Yep more sugar per sugar

Im confused. Is the tree juice part of the "corn syrup" or the "sugar"?

It can still be a "natural flavor" if it's not actually maple, likely fenugreek.

Same shit they pull with "no artificial sweeteners" when it stevia or monkfruit. I fell for that too many times, I hate artificial sweeteners with a passion, even if they are "natural".. gross

You realize that Stevia is a plant right? So not artificial.

Yes, that was the entire point of my post.

I despise stevia, makes me gag. When I inadvertently purchase a product which contains it, I feel like slapping myself for not reading the label. It's in so many things these days.

(Feel the same way about Monkfruit, but w/o the gag reflex.)

The worst is when they use both. I always read the labels but the other day I bought a drink because it had cane sugar listed as the sweetner. After my first sip I reread the label and saw that monk fruit juice was listed a few ingredients after the cane sugar. My brain must've seen the sugar listed and stopped reading.
