No it's not the corn syrup that's the problem it's that it is a lot cheaper than cane sugar so it's used in higher quantities and in more types of food. Also the late 1980s and 1990s was when people started going nuts about "low-fat" diets. When food producers removed fats and oils from their products, consumers thought it tasted like cardboard. So manufacturers would add sugar or corn syrup to make the food taste better, while still being able to call it low fat.

But the US imposes a tariff on imported sugar that keeps the price at roughly 300% of what it would otherwise be.
