Our logic already told us this was true, considering how it is made, but after all that commercial propaganda from companies using HFCS people ignored the dangers.

Hope this gets America back on track.

    The US government will not do anything to prevent the heavy use of the HFCS. Or any corn related product. They have too many billions of $$ invested in the corn industry and corn farmers. Corn and soy are two of the most heavily government subsidized crops grown in the US. They are both also on the top of the list of genetically modified foods in the US. The best we can hope is that people become aware of it and avoid it on their own.
