Didn't the "why it is used" article address the issue of "practical
difference"? What *did* it say about why it is used?

Between HFCS and (cane or beet) sugar, yes, the big one being that it is
cheaper, and that is mostly, I think, because of farm subsidies. Between
HFCS and "regular" corn syrup, no. I think I've explained that at least
twice.
