    It is largely suspected that High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) is a contributor to American obesity and perhaps diabetes and other blood sugar ailments, that does not necessarily mean that High Maltose Corn Syrup (HMCS) is also to blame. Maltose is a disaccharide where fructose is a monosaccharide. Scientific research does not at this time appear to be published that establishes the same type of link to HMCS as has been connected to HFCS. As with any sugar and particularly concentrated sugar, you should limit your dietary intake. But the same applies to HFCS as well... and cheerios... and anything else you eat.
