-Cane sugar is the ultimate poison however.

Some white table sugars are as you say, contain both sucrose/glucose -

Some? Chemistry 101 is needed here.

White sugar is sucrose. It breaks down into fructose and glucose. Honey can be just about any combo of sucrose, glucose or fructose, depending on the floral source and the time the bees have to work it.

Beet sugar is sucrose after refinement.

Most natural sugars, including nectars, are sucrose.

There are just too many studies out on the health hazards of HFCS to promote it over sucrose.

yes.

My rule of thumb is: Is it man-made or nature-made?

High Fructose Corn Syrup sounds benign - sounds natural. It is not.

I use honey and maple syrup (my grandson just brought me a bottle he boiled down) - both are nature-made.

I use organic sugar -

another rule of thumb is: If I can't recognize or pronounce the ingredients, I don't eat it...
