Diabetes - High Fructose Corn Syrup?


From the standpoint of someone with (mild) Type 2 diabetes, is high fructose corn syrup the same as sugar?

Yes, all carbs are treated the same by the body, whether it's sugar or corn syrup or starches or other carbs. But corn syrup is one of the very concentrated ones, so make sure to read the nutrition labels carefully and factor in the carb to your meal totals.

Yes it is just another "name" for sugar. and for the record, I have never heard of anyone with "Mild" diabetes. that is like saying someone is "A little pregnant!" either your a diabetic or your not.

Yes. HIgh Fructose Corn Syrup ( HFCS ) has exactly the same glycemic index number as white table sugar.

Yes. It is exactly the same.

Absolutely. Sorry, you really need to try and steer clear of it.

yea it is the same

Yep!
