The issue with HFCS is it doesn't trigger the proper insulin response. As a result, we do not get the feeling of "fullness" we ought to for the amount of calories we consume, so we consume more. Plus it screws with our bodies.

Heavy use of it is due in part to restrictions on sugar imports and tariffs on same - we pay about 3x the world price for sugar.
