About Corn syrup

Corn syrup is a sweetener derived from cornstarch through a process that breaks down its carbohydrates into glucose. It is primarily composed of glucose and water, giving it a thick, syrupy consistency. Commonly found in North American cuisine, it is widely used in baking, candy-making, and processed foods due to its ability to retain moisture, prevent crystallization, and enhance texture. While corn syrup provides a quick source of energy, it is low in essential nutrients and high in simple sugars. Excessive consumption of added sugars, including corn syrup, has been linked to health concerns such as weight gain, tooth decay, and increased risk of chronic conditions like type 2 diabetes. Distinct from high-fructose corn syrup, which has additional fructose, regular corn syrup is less sweet but still best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
