Actually, you have no fucking idea what you are talking about. Why do you think the US is the only country using so much high-fructose corn syrup?
2 reasons:
1) Sugar import tariffs the government has in place to "protect" domestic sugar production. This makes sugar much more expensive than it would be if market forces set the price.
2) Corn subsidies the government has in place to "protect" farmers (in reality a few huge companies) makes corn much cheaper than it otherwise would be if market forces set the price.
And as a result of this "protection" the government has destroyed the health of an entire generation of Americans.
