'''High fructose corn syrup''' (HFCS) is an [[sweetener]] that is made from [[corn]] syrups by enigmatically converting some of corn syrup's glucose into a sweeter tasting carbohydrate called fructose. The resulting syrup is comprised of 42 or 55 percent [[fructose]], the remained being mostly [[glucose]] and some other [[sugar]]s.<ref>[http://www.hfcsfacts.com/What-is-High-Fructose-Corn-Syrup.html ''What is HFCS?''], HFCSfacts.com</ref> High fructose corn syrup is used in many foods and has a sweetness roughly comparable to sucrose (common table sugar), but is cheaper and easier to transport than sucrose. High fructose corn syrup is not an "artificial sweetener" like saccharin (i.e. Sweet&Low<small>TM</small>), meaning that it does possess a significant caloric value and is metabolized by the human body similar to common table sugar.
