Do you have any friends from overseas? American cuisine in general is universally thought of to be overly sweetened, gloppy goop. There's a reason for it. We have been conditioned in this country to accept overly syrupy sweetened glop as "food".

HFCS is terrible for you in the kinds of quantities the average person takes in. I go out of my way to avoid it. As has been said above, there are lots of studies conclusively linking HFCS to diabetes, obesity, etc. Sure, you can always say "in moderation", but frankly it's something if eliminated from one's diet entirely wouldn't leave them missing it much. It's just crap filler/sweetener pushed by companies like Monsanto onto a stupid public-at-large (and yes, that's a deliberate pun on the word "large").

Start checking your ingredients labels - there's a reason they're there.
