So it's actually, it's not like it doesn't deserve its stigma, high fructose corn syrup.
And other studies have backed this up.

But the problem is when they first invented it, you know, they called it high fructose corn syrup because the thing that came around first was just corn syrup.
And that didn't have any fructose in it at all.
That was basically no fructose.
And then they started adding fructose to it to make it sweeter.
And that's why they called it high fructose corn syrup.
And sometimes it actually has less fructose in it than table sugar.
But I bet, yeah, I think they're probably regretting their decision pretty strongly now to call it that.
Because now it's kind of stuck.
