Question: what is the difference between cane sugar and high fructose corn syrup?
Answer: Cane sugar is pure sucrose … a “disaccharide” (two-sugar compound) that's exactly half glucose and half fructose, joined by a weak chemical bond. High-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is a manmade substance that's roughly half glucose and half fructose, not bound together chemically.
