High Maltose Corn Syrup?

I bought a box of General Mills Vanilla Bean Latte granola bars, for snacking on throughout the weak. To my surprise, it had high maltose corn syrup as the first ingredient. I know that maltose is a disaccharide with two glucoses, but how does this differ from high fructose corn syrup? Is it better or worse?

note: I'm posting from Ontario, and our laws don't specify labelling HFCS, it can say "glucose-fructose" and that's also an ingredient, although far near the bottom of the ingredients list.
