Who wrote this misleading article? Yes corn and fruits contain sugar, but the difference is in their complexity. Fruit (and corn) sugar converts to fructose and is converted into sucrose and glycogen, which is broken down and absorbed by the bodily at a slower rate than refined cane sugar, and does not have a major impact on blood glucose levels. Because of its low glycemic index, diabetics are encouraged to eat fruits and vegetables (and even corn). So, enjoy your corn and ignore these lame-brains that think they know everything.
