Yes but for non diabetics it's fine. Given that you don't overindulge. Diabetes has a lot to do with genetics over how much sugars you eat

Tell a diabetic natural maple syrup is healthy for them.

and if by HCFS you mean 'high fructose corn syrup' then no, its not any worse or any better than any other sugars. It's a religious belief you have to make yourself feel less sinful inside than someone else.
