So, what is fructose glucose syrup?

Fructose glucose syrup is a sweetener derived from corn starch. It is a combination of fructose and glucose, with the proportion of each varying depending on the processing method. Fructose glucose syrup is commonly used in the food industry as a substitute for sugar due to its low cost and high sweetness. It has a similar taste and texture to sugar but is more soluble, making it ideal for use in soft drinks and processed foods. However, it has been linked to health concerns such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, and liver damage when consumed in excess.
