According to a column in Men’s Health, both high fructose corn syrup and table sugar contain similar amounts of fructose. For instance, the two most commonly used types of HFCS are HFCS-42 and HFCS-55, which are 42% and 55% fructose, respectively. Table sugar is almost chemically identical, containing 50% fructose.

This is why the University of California at Davis, continues to report the column, scientists determined fructose intakes from both HFCS and table sugar. The truth is, there’s no evidence to show any differences in these two types of sugar. Both will cause you to blur your muscular definition and will result in weight gain when consumed in excess, but of the bad kind.

Just watch what you drink, such as soft drinks, sweetened fruit juices, and prepackaged desserts (unless, of course, it’s your higher calorie days….yum).
