The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Conventional corn syrup is first produced by enzymatic break down of corn starch into glucose, part of which is further converted into fructose using D-xylose isomerase.
- HFCS was first marketed in the early 1970s by the Clinton Corn Processing Company, together with the Japanese Agency of Industrial Science and Technology, where the enzyme was discovered in 1965.
- As a sweetener, HFCS is often compared to granulated sugar, but manufacturing advantages of HFCS over sugar include that it is cheaper, especially as it can be directly pumped with less labor involved.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The High-fructose corn syrup article was read about 120,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 76 and blocks with 85: each hit it takes is cut by 34 %.
