Which statement best describes High Fructose Corn Syrup?

  1. It is pure fructose

  2. It is pure glucose

  3. It is a combination of fructose and glucose

  4. It is a type of oligosaccharide

The correct answer is: It is pure fructose

High Fructose Corn Syrup is not pure fructose, as it is actually a combination of fructose and glucose. It is also not pure glucose, as it contains more fructose than glucose. It is not a type of oligosaccharide, which is a type of carbohydrate that contains several linked monosaccharides. High Fructose Corn Syrup is a type of sweetener made from corn syrup that contains more fructose than glucose, making it a cheaper alternative to traditional sugar.
