Question: is fructose high fructose corn syrup?
Answer: Fructose is also known as a monosaccharide. High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is also a sweetener and is used to sweeten foods and beverages. However, HFCS is not the same as fructose. HFCS is a mixture of fructose and glucose, made by an enzymatic process from glucose syrup from corn.
