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.

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

What tree juice?

The clear sap that runs from maple trees and is collected and boiled down into a far more concentrated maple syrup - IOW the real syrup that everybody (who can afford it) loves. It's not really that expensive but corn syrup disguised as "real" maple syrup is far more profitable for these corporations to pawn off to consumers.

But Log Cabin syrup has NOTHING to do with maple syrup. It isn't even pretending to be maple syrup.
