  1. I have seen many manufacturers have glucose-fructose on the labels for
    products. I know that saying glucose/fructose would be one or the other
    but in this case they hyphen should mean that they are binding the
    glucose and fructose molecules.
    Is that the case and if so why dont they just say sugar?

    I'd interpret it as saying that the product may contain varying amounts of
    glucose, fructose, and sucrose, depending on which sources of them happened
    to be cheaper at the time the particular batch was made.
