  Do you mean corn? Most American food has High Fructose Corn Syrup instead of Sugar.

    It's still sugar, and the reason it's bad is because it's sugar rather than the exact composition.

      I think they're saying it is the corn lobby, not the sugar lobby, that distorted our diet guidelines so much. Corn = huge "real American" industry Sugar = not

        Corn is the US sugar lobby. Pretending they are different things is mostly just marketing at this point.

          “I hate what the sugar lobby has done to our country but damnit I’ll come out swinging against anyone coming after our corn farmers’ subsidies!” - a reasonable misunderstanding to have when people speak the way you’re suggesting

        Saying it's really the corn lobby is fine, but "corn syrup instead of sugar" is not the right way to describe things.
