Why Did Corn Syrup Ever Need to Exist?

421 views

As the title says, why has (especially the United States) created an artificial sweetener that is worse for you than the naturally provided sweetener (sugar cane) that is quite abundant and also grows out of the ground? Almost every nation on the planet besides the US utilizes sugar cane in their food items and this gives them a distinct taste in comparison, why does corn syrup exist? Was it ever needed?

EDIT: I’m delighted to know that I’ve been going at this all wrong, and I’m happy to be educated more on the differences in sugars, the reasons as to why corn is utilized in the US, and general common sense that I didn’t pick up on, so thanks for that.

Why do you think corn syrup is particularly bad for you? Sugar is sugar, the source doesn’t tend to matter that much.
