So, what is glucosefructose syrup?

Glucosefructose syrup, also known as high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), is a sweetener derived from corn starch. It is made by converting some of the glucose in corn syrup into fructose, resulting in a syrup that is sweeter and more soluble than regular sugar. Glucosefructose syrup is commonly used in the food industry to sweeten soft drinks, baked goods, and other processed foods. It has a similar taste and texture to granulated sugar, but is less expensive and easier to use in liquid form. However, there has been some controversy over its health effects, with some studies linking it to obesity and other health problems.
