Whats the proportion of glucose to fructose in each?

From commen# 61 on this thread, I repeat myself:

Depending on the source, HFCS-55 is 55% percent fructose and either 40 or 42 percent glucose, the rest being other monosaccharides. Than means either 37.5 or 31% more fructose than glucose. When fructose is metabolized it needs one less enzyme than glucose to make glycerol, which happens to make up the spine of triglycerides when glycerol combines with free fatty acids.

There's a link at the end of commen# 61. Go to comment# 93 on that thread, IIRC, for links to those numbers sources about the percent of glucose.
