Again, there is no evidence that this is true. It's far more likely due to simply the wider reach that HFCS has in the food market than it used to. It's not about soda having HFCS instead of sugar. It's about 99% of ALL foods having HFCS when they had no sweeteners previously. There is no evidence that there's any appreciable difference between sucrose and HFCS. There is ample evidence that people are flat out consuming more of both.
