I don't think it matters but chances are it's HFCS.

It matters.
I guess it matters because it might actually prove our bodies handle HFCS and Sugar differently. I have never seen that proven anywhere else.
If you want an actual scholarly article rather than a youtube video, here is one (especially useful are the figures on page 6):

Of course our bodies handle HFCS and "sugar" differently. There are about a dozen types of common simple sugars and all of them are handled differently because they are different molecules.

Straw-man. The relevant question is whether or not HFCS is significantly worse than sucrose.
