On a nutrition label is there a difference between "high fructose corn syrup" and "corn syrup"?"

Ordinary corn syrup contains dextrose sugar which is about three-quarters as sweet as the sucrose sugar in cane or beet sugar. To improve the sweetness of ordinary corn syrup, it undergoes a further process called enzyme conversion. In this process, the dextrose sugars in the syrup are converted into sweeter fructose sugars by the action of an enzyme in a series of steps under carefully controlled temperatures, pressures, and acidity. This produces a high fructose corn syrup with a 42% fructose content. It is used in canned fruits and condiments. It is used in cake mixes and other food products where a highly concentrated, sweetener is desired.
So basically it has more sugar and is a lot sweeter.

both basically the same thing, but the "high fructose" corn syrup has more sugar.
