No, corn syrup is used in food and drinks all over the world.
Personally, I have nothing against corn syrup so long as the sweetness actually tastes nice and appropriate for what I'm consuming.
Corn syrup is also a lot better than artificial sweeteners which all taste like hot garbage and make me literally ill.
- peterashford 2y agoThe United States accounts for approximately 55 percent of the global consumption of high-fructose corn syrup. https://www.statista.com/statistics/495946/consumption-share-of-high-fructose-corn-syrup-worldwide-by-country/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/495946/consumption-share...
- Dalewyn 2y agoSo what about the remaining 45%?
- sangnoir 2y agoWhat's the consumption rate for RoW - per capita - compared to the US?
- Dalewyn 2y agoDoes it matter? So long as that (or any non-US) number is larger than zero the argument that "corn syrup is US-only" is patently false.
- bboygravity 2y agoWhat I meant was "putting corn syrup in most food as the preferred sweetener" is a US-only thing, not "only the US uses corn syrup".
