The argument that I heard a that sucrose does not readily disassociate, but has to be broke down by sucrase. Sucrose absorbtion is limited by the sucrase availability in the gut. In contrast corn syrup ist quasi pre digested, the body cannot regulate it's absorbtion at all. I'm not sure how true that is though.
