Distinction between "corn syrup" and "high fructose corn syrup"

[SupportiveHusband]

Is there a significant difference between "corn syrup" and "high fructose corn syrup?" As an example, I'm looking at the Jennie-O lean smoked turkey sausage. After the main ingredients, it says that it contains "2% or less of corn syrup solids, etc." Is this better than if it had said "high fructose corn syrup?" Does it matter? Does the fact that it's in the "2% or less" section of the ingredients make it fairly insignificant anyway?

Thanks.

I hope a mod can help you, but I myself wouldn't be too worried if it's only 2%. I'm pretty sure we are just worried about HFCS. I could be wrong though!
It sounds to me like you are spending lots of time in supermarket deliberation! Good luck!

Corn syrup is like liquid sugar and high fructose corn syrup is much, much worse than that.

It would a matter of choice whether or not to use the turkey sausage.
