Fructose is a natural sugar that is present in fruits, fruit juices, certain vegetables, and honey. In these forms, fructose sugars can be part of a healthful diet.
However, fructose is also a component of high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS), which manufacturers make from corn starch and add to unhealthful foods such as sodas and candies.
