>REGULAR SUGAR BECOMES HFCS WHEN SITTING IN AN ACID
No, regular table sugar (sucrose) does not turn into high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) when it sits in an acid; it breaks down into its individual components, glucose and fructose, through a process called hydrolysis. HFCS is a corn-based sweetener that is manufactured to have a specific ratio of glucose to fructose, while the acid hydrolysis of sucrose simply breaks the bond between the existing glucose and fructose molecules.
