High Fructose Corn Syrup and the Low FODMAP Diet

High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) is a liquid sweetener derived from corn starch that undergoes enzymatic processing to convert some of its glucose into fructose, resulting in a mixture of glucose and fructose. It is commonly used in the food industry due to its cost-effectiveness and ability to enhance flavors and extend shelf life. HFCS is similar in composition to table sugar (sucrose), but its liquid form makes it particularly useful in beverages and processed foods.
