It is problematic that the ingredient label doesn't list which types of HFCS are used in the product. It could be HFCS-90 for all I know. The manufacturer could also keep shifting the formula. 90% fructose would be disastrous to one's health.
In fact a 2014 study found 60% fructose, not 55% as is expected with HFCS-55. This suggests a blending of HFCS-55 and HFCS-90 in a ratio that yields 60% fructose. This thuggery by hiding it from the label is bad for health. As a consumer, I am within reason to make the pessimistic assumption of HFCS being up to 90% fructose via HFCS-90, which for all practical intents and purposes is fructose. In any event, your claim of the product containing up to merely 55% fructose is falsified.
