High fructose corn syrup, like other caloric sweeteners, contributes 4 calories per gram. It is not pure fructose. The most common types of high fructose corn syrup used in foods and beverages are HFCS-55 and HFCS-42. The number in the name denotes the percentage of fructose in the composition. So HFCS-55 is 55% fructose with the other 45% mainly glucose. HFCS-42 is 42% fructose with the other 58% mainly glucose. Most caloric sweeteners simply provide calories. Honey does have some protein, amino acids, vitamins and minerals, but all these components together add up to less than half of a percent (<0.5%). So you'd have to eat a lot to gain any nutritional benefit.
