Sugar is 50:50 fructose:sugar and "high"-fructose sugar is 55:45. The slight difference in fructose:sugar between the two is not significant in terms of health outcomes, unless you mean sugar in general.

Why is it in BREAD? https://www.thedailymeal.com/1306301/unhealthiest-store-bought-sliced-breads-buy/ https://www.thedailymeal.com/1306301/unhealthiest-store-boug... It's also the crazy amounts: we're accustomed to high levels of sweetness. Like 40g sugar in a can of soda.

- luhn 7mo agoI can't make sense of your comment, but whatever you're trying to get at is wrong: Table sugar is sucrose. Corn syrup is mostly glucose and contains no fructose. HFCS is commonly produced at 42% and 55% fructose formulations. I don't think HFCS is meaningfully more or less harmful than any other sugar, but chemically there's a significant difference.
- wpm 7mo agoSucrose is a disaccharide composed of 1 glucose and 1 fructose molecule, so the GP comment is correct, sugar is 50:50 glucose and fructose.
