High Fructose Corn Syrup is a chemical derived from corn that is nowadays found in far too many foods to be healthy for the masses. It is made cheap by government subsidies on corn. Rather than spending money to appease farmers and jeopardize our health, the government ought to discourage the production of the syrup and at the same time make a bit of extra money. The long term health benefits would also decrease health care costs.
