By feeding mice sugar in doses that correspond to realistic amounts that we’d actually eat, researchers discovered that the fructose-glucose mix in high-fructose corn syrup is more toxic than sucrose, or table sugar. It reduced reproduction and shortened the lifespans of females. 

The table sugar in baked goodies and the high-fructose corn syrup found in many processed foods contain roughly the same amount of fructose and glucose. However, in corn syrup, they’re separate molecules called monosaccharides, while in table sugar, fructose and glucose chemically bond to form a disaccharide. “When the diabetes-obesity-metabolic syndrome epidemics started in the mid-1970s, they corresponded with both a general increase in consumption of added sugar and the switchover from sucrose being the main added sugar in the American diet to high-fructose corn syrup making up half our sugar intake,” says Wayne Potts from the University of Utah in a news release.
