Question Re: 0g High Fructose Corn Syrup

[Blamethecats and Hannah]

Well, this has me confused... and I admit it doesn't take all that much, these days. I just bought a new bottle of Karo corn syrup to have on hand, just in case we need it in a hurry. The label says "0 (zero) g High Fructose Corn Syrup". What the heck does that mean? The back of the label says it's got 10g sugars. Will this stuff even work to raise BG in a hurry? The old bottle that I still have on hand says 30g sugars on the back of the label. Anyone have any experience or knowledge about the new-and-improved formula? Here's the link for the new bottle's label.

It just means it doesn't have any High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) , it's made from 100% corn starch. Just a health fad going around, no one wants to use HFCS anymore. It still has sugar but it comes from corn starch not HFCS. Does that make sense?

Thanks, Dusty Bones! Yep, that makes good sense to me! And thanks for the info link... also very helpful. You just saved me from tossing the new bottle out, as thought I'd bought the wrong stuff or they'd changed the old-standby formula. Now I know it's the same product, introduced under a new label to make it look healthier (and I was gullible enough to believe it). Glad to find out it's the same sugar/carbs... just a different presentation.
