The GI of HFCS is comparable to honey and table sugar (sucrose). Honey is around 55, while sucrose and HFCS is around 60 - 65, and molasses is 85.
The GI of watermelon is 72; oats are around 58. Confused yet?
GI alone isn't a good indicator as to whether you should eat something. You need to look at total calories expressed as a percentage of your overall intake.
It's quite confusing. Even to scientists.
