>fructose is sugar that comes from fruit
>high fructose corn syrup comes from corn
>normies think that corn is a vegetable

this is how fucking retarded normies are

[Anonymous No.13441546]

It's a grain, actually.

some grains, such as corn, are fruits

Onions, peppers, carrots, sweet potatoes and beetroot also contain fructose.

It feels nice knowing so much more about plants and their classifications.
Corn is a caryopsis fruit, aka grain

Corn happens to be a grain, fruit, and vegetable by various standards. You're all close-minded idiots.

[Anonymous No.13441589]

>>13441575
but, grains are caryopsis FRUITS


>>13441580
by what standard does a vegetable come from the flower of the plant, normie brainlet standard?

To be fair, the US government classifies things like tomatoes and corn as vegetables because trade laws and customs are more strict with fruit than vegetables and they've used the guise of culinary applications as the reason

Vegetable refers to non reproductive parts of the plant (vegetative human makes more sense after learning this). Potatos are a swollen portion of stem, lettuce is just leaves, etc. Fruits are specifically parts involved directly in sexual reproduction.

aka corn

[Anonymous No.13441636]

Wasnt disagreeing. Wanted to clarify the standards for the thread.

Should also point out that presence of fructose doesnt mean it's a fruit. Plants can store sugars in various ways.

Yet human fruits do not reproduce. Interesting.

[Anonymous No.13443647]

Peppers and tomatoes are fruits. Corn is a grain. All fruits and all grains are vegetables.

[Anonymous No.13443651]

>>13441589

All grains are fruits

All fruits are vegetables

It's not complicated

Semantics.

Is this a stealth version of "CORN SUGAR" corporate propaganda commercials they used to have?
It's neither a vegetable nor fruit, it's a cereal grain.

>vegetative human makes more sense after learning this
It has to do with the persistent vegetative state and the autonomous/vegetative system and not with reproduction.

Corn syrup is not sugar extracted from sweet corn. It's made by splitting starch from hard corn, previously with pressure cookers and acid, now with a microbial/enzymatic process. The same can be done with potatoes or any starch. It's how faux-healthy brown rice syrup is made.

[Anonymous No.13444389]

Corn syrup contains no fructose, the glucose in it is processed into fructose with a semi-permiable memebrane or enzymes. Overall it turns into a 55:45 ratio of fructose to glucose, similar to cane sugar at 50:50 or so.
Go buy some Karo brand corn syrup at the store (or equivalent shelf brand) if you don't believe me.
