High-fructose corn syrup is a common sweetener and preservative in processed foods. High-fructose corn syrup is made by changing the sugar (glucose) in cornstarch to fructose — another form of sugar. The end product is a combination of fructose and glucose. Because it extends the shelf life of processed foods and is cheaper than sugar, high-fructose corn syrup has become a popular ingredient in many sodas, fruit-flavored drinks and other processed foods. So far, research has yielded conflicting results about the effects of high-fructose corn syrup, but many consumers have chosen to limit the amount of HFCS they consume.
