Corn in its normal form is 100% glucose
Sucrose from sugar cane is 50% glucose and 50% fructose (Called Sucrose)
High Fructose corn syrup is 45% glucose and 55% fructose.
It is a common mistake to think that high fructose corn syrup is literally high is fructose. It is only high in fructose in relation to corn.
