A member asked:
Is real sugar better for you than pure corn syrup?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A little bit: Corn syrup is higher in fructose. Fructose tends to be converted in the body more rapidly into fat than glucose which is higher in plain sugar. Both types should be monitored by you as part of a balanced diet to limit calories if that is your goal.
