      While many sources of fructose naturally and no reason to think they behave differently than HFCS, high fructose corn syrup to my knowledge uses enzymes to convert glucose to fructose to raise the percentage. (And then re-add corn syrup to adjust the fructose/glucose to a desired ratio)

      How much healthier a simple syrup (sugar split into a 50% glucose and 50% fructose) vs a 60/40 fructose/glucose HFCS is very debatable…

      Really just hates it when you buy something without sugar/HFCS and find it had artificial sweeteners instead… When I wanted no additional sweeteners. looks at canned fruit in cabinet

        The fake sugar garbage has gotten out of hand. I had to start making my own granola because most of the granola had fake sugar in it. I’m glad I did tho. I can make it with whatever I want in it and no one can stop meeeeeee!

      Technically, even morphine is natural. It’s just the natural opioid in poppies, extracted and concentrated.
