Page "Fuze Beverage" Paragraph 7

Some consumers may choose Fuze products over other drinks because they wish to avoid high-fructose corn syrup ( HFCS ), which has been tentatively linked to obesity and diabetes ; the alternative sweetener used in Fuze is crystalline fructose, which is chemically distinct from HFCS, although it is produced by allowing the fructose to crystallize " from a fructose-enriched corn syrup ".

Since crystalline fructose is about 5. 0 % sweeter than high-fructose corn syrup, it adds fewer calories to a sweetened food or drink compared with table sugar or HFCS, resulting in Fuze products ' lower calorie content than other bottled drinks.
