1. High fructose corn syrup

   High fructose corn syrup —also called glucose-fructose in Canada, Isoglucose or Glucose-Fructose syrup and high fructose maize syrup in some countries—comprises any of a group of corn syrups that have undergone enzymatic processing to convert some of its glucose into fructose to produce a desired sweetness. Because of its low price compared to sugar, HFCS is the predominant sweetener used in processed foods and beverages in the United States. However, this trend does seem to be changing, as USDA data show that HFCS consumption since 2002 has actually decreased, while cane and beet sugar consumption has held steady or increased. It is commonly used in breads, cereals, breakfast bars, lunch meats, yogurts, soft drinks, soups, and condiments. HFCS consists of 24% water and the rest sugars. The most widely used varieties of HFCS are: HFCS 55, approximately 55% fructose and 42% glucose; and HFCS 42, approximately 42% fructose and 53% glucose. HFCS-90, approximately 90% fructose and 10% glucose, is used in small quantities for specialty applications but primarily is used to blend with HFCS 42 to make HFCS 55.

Examples of high fructose corn syrup in a Sentence

1. Lisa Drayer:

   Look at the ingredients list, if sugar or any one of the following terms are listed high on the label, you want to avoid that food: corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup, agave, honey, molasses, and anything ending in 'ose'; dextrose, fructose and sucrose are all code words for sugar.

2. Kaleigh McMordie:

   Frozen breakfast pastries consist of several forms of highly processed carbohydrates and sugar with no real nutritional value, not to mention all the chemical preservatives. Regular intake of these kinds of highly processed foods— high in refined white flour, refined sugar and high fructose corn syrup — is associated with a poor lipid profile, high triglyceride and LDL cholesterol levels in the blood, caused by high refined carb intake, is a major risk factor for heart disease. Skip the toaster pastries and opt for a breakfast that has a balance of healthy fat, protein, and carbohydrates from whole grains or fruit.
