Do you deny the points about the HFCS and ethanol subsidies? You mean 40% of the US corn crop last year went for ethanol for any other reason than the fact that it was subsidised? Or that HFCS is far more common than sucrose in the USA because of subsidies? (Or for that matter that the USDA and FDA have approved many things without sufficiently rigorous peer-reviewed studies of potential effects?)
