HFCS is different from regular corn syrup. Definitely misleading, though.
I don't think people who see the "No HFCS" label are thinking to themselves, "Wow, now they're making it with real corn syrup." I think most people know there's real maple syrup and HCFS syrup with maple flavoring. Labeling it no HFCS would probably lead them to think it's real. The only reason I noticed is because I thought, "no way did Log Cabin start making real maple syrup."
Yeah I fully agree it's misleading.
If you look at the price you know it's not maple.
I get real maple for not much more. 1 liter of 100% maple syrup is $10.99 and Log Cabin is $6.04 per liter.
This. High Fructose Corn Syrup is a sugar replacement. It's cheaper and damages your liver. It also can't be processed well within the body in general. Corn syrup is a color agent and something that stops condensed, sweetened things like this or caramel for example from crystalizing.
The main difference I notice is if you make something with HFCS it will be like crack, really hard to stop eating it once you get a taste. Regular corn syrup is sweet for sure but doesn't have that same hyper-addictive quality in my experience.
I think you're supposed to smoke the crack, not eat it.
I spent a summer in the US once and I remember all the sweetened drinks tasting... oily almost. HFCS has a really syrupy mouth feel that's very unpleasant if you're not used to it.
Its the primary ingredient meaning most of that maple syrup is actually just corn syrup. Its still toxic.
It’s not maple syrup. It’s just syrup. It’s like comparing Yoo-hoo to milk.
I don't know why people put this garbage on their pancakes. Why fake maple syrup? Just tap a tree and bottle the real stuff.
