That's because despite the name, high-fructose corn syrup is chemically similar to other widely used sweeteners, including table sugar (sucrose), honey, and even sweeteners made from concentrated fruit juices. All contain glucose and fructose in roughly equal amounts. The high-fructose corn syrup used in most soft drinks and other sweetened beverages in the U.S. contains about 55% fructose and 45% glucose, compared to the 50/50 fructose-glucose ratio found in table sugar.
The largest animal on earth -- hands down -- is the blue whale. The largest whale ever recorded weighed 210 tons and was 98 feet long. (Longer whales have been recorded, but not weighed.) The blue whale is an endangered species. Hunted to the brink of extinction, there are between 5,000 and 12,000 blue whales left.
The blue whale is considered the largest living marine mammal in the world. In fact the blue whale is one of the largest animals to ever inhibit the earth and is even larger than most dinosaurs. When fully grown these large marine mammals can measure in at over 100 ft.
