Sorry, it is now called Corn Sugar. Which I can buy, I loves me some sweet corn! The effects and benefits and risks and all that other jazz about HCFS being good or bad for you are all entertaining to watch and make for entertaining conversation.... but! No one I have ever talked to can answer this question: If the government subsidies on corn were removed, would HCFS still be cheaper than sugar?
