When buying high maltose corn syrup, read the labels carefully. Make sure it contains at least 50% maltose or some may have as high as 70% in them.
High maltose corn syrup will affect the body as other sugars do. Excessive intake might lead to cavities, insulin resistance, weight gain, fatty liver and heart diseases. Regular consumption of beverages sweetened with high maltose corn syrup increases the risk of heart disease factors like bad cholesterol, more than glucose. (1)
