> High fructose corn syrup glycemic index 100 vs normal sugar glycemic index 70 This is just plain false. Fructose has a glycemic index of 25 (1/4 that of glucose), hence HFCS-55 (55% fructose, 45% glucose) has a lower glycemic index at 58 than "normal sugar" (which is 50-50 fructose-glucose) at 65. > The higher the glycemic index the sweeter the product tastes Glycemic index has nothing to do with sweetness. Fructose is twice as sweet as glucose with a quarter of the glycemic index; aspartame is 200x as sweet with basically 0 GI. Candy or chocolate made with sucrose rather than corn syrup tastes different (and I would agree, better), but don't delude yourself that it is in any way better for your health.
