Default High-Fructose Corn Syrup

Read this last week and found it interesting:

"High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is a nutritive sweetener similar
to table sugar (sucrose). It's used by the food industry because
of it's many qualities, including stability, broad
functionability and abundant raw material in the (USA) Midwest.
As a rise in obesity coincided with it's introduction, some
people believed it must be the cause.

But HFCS was soon shown to have no means of causing obesity that
sucrose doesn't have, and their calories are the same. If it were
removed from the market, consumers would simply find products
more expensive."
