Conclusion: Our results provide evidence of higher than expected amounts of free fructose in some
beverages. Popular beverages made with HFCS have a fructose-to-glucose ratio of approximately
60:40, and thus contain 50% more fructose than glucose. Some pure fruit juices have twice as much
fructose as glucose. These findings suggest that beverages made with HFCS and some juices have a
sugar profile very different than sucrose, in which amounts of fructose and glucose are equivalent.
Current dietary analyses may underestimate actual fructose consumption
