- Research confirms that HFCS is safe and no different from other common sweeteners like table sugar and honey. All three sweeteners contain nearly the same one-to-one ratio of two sugars—fructose and glucose.
- HFCS has the same number of calories as table sugar and is equal in sweetness. It contains no artificial or synthetic ingredients.
- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration granted HFCS “Generally Recognized as Safe” status for use in food, and reaffirmed that ruling in 1996 after thorough review.
- HFCS offers numerous benefits. It keeps food fresh, enhances fruit and spice flavors, retains moisture in bran cereals, helps keep breakfast and energy bars moist, maintains consistent flavors in beverages and keeps ingredients evenly dispersed in condiments.
