Does GFS contain more calories than sugar?
No, GFS and sucrose both contain 4 kcal per gram. HFCS (FGS) in the NewsRecently, study results obtained on the basis of a pure fructose diet are being extrapolated to HFCS (FGS). Pure fructose is not the same as FGS or GFS. Fructose and glucose – the two main constituents of GFS – are metabolised in different ways in the body, when consumed separately. But GFS and FGS are metabolised similarly to sucrose, they all contain fructose and glucose, in approximately the same proportion. Consumption of fructose as the sole carbohydrate is highly unusual and not reflective at all of people’s habitual diets.
