One teaspoon of table sugar (sucrose: 50% glucose and 50% fructose) contains 4g sugar, about 2g glucose and 2g fructose.
One tablespoon high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS: 45% glucose and 55% fructose) contains 5g sugar, about 2g glucose and 3g fructose.
One tablespoon pure corn syrup (100% glucose) contains 5g sugar, hardly any fructose.
One tablespoon honey contains 17g sugar, about 8g glucose and 9g fructose.
One tablespoon maple syrup contains 12g sugar, about 6g fructose tied up in sucrose.

Just some comparisons for people. Watch the teaspoons VS the tablespoons. cane sugar and maple sugar are basically the same sweetness per tablespoon. The difference is in what kind of sugar it is.
