Well, they do because uptake mechanisms for fructose and glucose are different. Sucrose is of course 1:1 fructose and glucose. HFCS is higher fructose, lower glucose. There's no set percentage. Some of it labeled more for diabetics is 90/10 fructose/glucose, stuff used in soda is more around 70/30, others is as low as 55/45 which has almost no difference since 50/50 or 55/45 just isn't that different. That's a little more nuanced though and on a simplistic level sugar is sugar. It's not like regular HFCS soda is really any worse for you than cane sugar soda.
