Cane sugar has equal amounts of glucose and fructose though. High fructose corn syrup has more fructose than glucose which alters the taste.

It's really close though. 45/55 for the type of hfcs used in soft drinks vs 50/50 for sugar. Not sure that's enough to throw off taste. Maybe marginally less sweet since fructose is sweeter.

I can taste the difference. I like the HFCS better.
