Comment on Everything has corn syrup in it
Vetis@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks agoYou are right, however high fructose corn sirup has an extremely high glycemic index which tend to make people fat. So in comparaison to other forms of sugar, it is one of the worst for your health. The health of americans would be better if corn wasn’t as subsidized.

It has a glycemic index of 56-62 depending on the fructose to glucose ratios. That’s considered a moderate GI, not extremely high. Sucrose (standard table sugar) has a GI of ~65. White bread (70+) and baked potatoes (~86) have a higher glycemic index.
