The subsidy for HFCS is mostly just an import tariff on cane sugar. The subsidies increase the cost of sugar (HFCS, cane, beet, etc.). We are subsidizing farmers by increasing the cost to consumers. If we let the market decide the price, it would only lower the cost of sugar. I don't think there is any evidence that HFCS is appreciably worse than sucrose. The problem is added sugar of any type.
