Inasmuch as they are listed separately as ingredients where both are
used, I'll say no.

No. Google for "hfcs" and read the first two entries. HFCS is modified
corn syrup - regular corn syrup has almost no fructose in it (it's all
glucose). HFCS is "sweeter" than regular CS. It is chemically modified
to produce the fructose. Companies probably use it mainly because it
is cheaper. Some studies show that high fructose levels in the diet
cause weight gain so there's a lot of anti-HFCS stuff on the Internet.
Note that table sugar (sucrose) is naturally 1/2 fructose and 1/2 glucose
(the sucrose molecule is just a fructose and glucose molecule bound
together).

HFCS is evil, but honey is wholesome and good. And I believe they have
about the same ratios of glucose and fructose.
