	Its worth noting that use of HFCS is far more prevalent in 
the US than anywhere else. Its a peculiarity of US corn industry 
subsidisation.
	Not that refined sugar is a great thing either, but the 
original 'the US government should do something about obesity' 
question come into a very different light if you believe that, as 
many who care about the HFCS do, that the US government is currently 
intervening to make things worse.
