Basically what happened was that back in the 70s, the Nixon administration, in its effort to deal with rising food prices, changed our farm subsidy policy in a way that encouraged farmers to overproduce. But what farmers quickly discovered was that low prices would just mean low revenue and that the real money is made in "adding value" to your product. So they came up with all sorts of clever uses for corn, including high fructose corn syrup. Cheap corn is also why everything is supersized. Cheap corn gets you a bigger bottle of soda, a bigger hamburger, it's even the main ingredient in chicken nuggets. And because food companies make so much money, they can lobby Congress to keep the current farm policy in place. Don't you love the irony? Your tax dollars are supporting an industry that turns around and bribes our officials with those same tax dollars to continue a policy that's making us fat.
The truth is you can't completely avoid HFCS. It's everywhere. It's even in something as healthy as whole wheat bread. The best you can do is try to minimize your exposure to it. But if there's one thing worse than HFCS, it's trans fatty acids. Definitely avoid foods that have those.
