I've heard the issue with high fructose corn syrup is that the levels of sugar in it does not correspond to its sweetness level. Corn syrup on its own is not very sweet, so to make it taste sweet you have to add much higher levels than if you had used other types of sweetener.

It's the opposite. You'll add more sucrose to hit the same sweetness experience as most HFCS blends, not less.
Not sure how to square that with the chemical composition of hfcs.
