If the US didn't have tariffs on sugar we would not have HFCS in all of our food because it would be less expensive to go back to using cane sugar. The price of HFCS is cheaper than US-produced sugar, but is more expensive than the international market for sugar. The US puts the tariff on international sugar and subsidizes corn so that both the US sugar farmers, the corn farmers, and the giant industrial food manufacturers all win. The consumer loses due to all the subsidized corn syrup going into the food.
