Good old wikipedia always has the answer :) Corn Syrup (which is made from the starch of maize) is actually good according to here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corn_syrup as Corn Syrup is made up of glucose.  However High Fructose Corn Syrup has gone through a different (enzymatic processing, which means they are changing the molecules) process to convert some of the Glucose to Fructose http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_fructose_corn_syrup.  High Fructose Corn Syrup is only produced because it's sweeter then plain old Corn Syrup.  Corn Syrup is used in foods to soften texture, add volume, prevent crystallization of sugar, and enhance flavor.  So basically they are two completely different things.

Yeah I have previously checked the book (I carry about the safe and unsafe list in my purse actually) and not unless the Corn Syrup that David is referring to is the HFCS.

Under the 'Unsafe' banner is listed Corn Syrup as well as High Fructose Corn Syrup - David has put them both into the 'Unsafe' category.  So maybe this was a typo?  Is the corn syrup in this product somehow a different kind to the one he listed as being unsafe, and if so, how can you tell a safe corn syrup from an unsafe one?  It's got me very confused too!
