Have you considered how many products contain corn syrup as a cheap sweetening agent?

Yeah, we really have to be scrupulous when reading labels on everything these days.

Yes, corn syrup is a sweetener and can help cause obesity if enough of it is consumed. A lot of products have corn syrup instead of sugar, giving people a false hope of having something sugar free or with little sugar.

Tons of them and I don't think that people can avoid it all together, but if you prepare your own meals and limit processed foods, you should be healthy.
It's tough though. Just the other day, I was trying to purchase some whole wheat hot dog buns and they all had HFCS in them. I finally had to choose orowheat, because it had the least amount.

Yes. This is why people should avoid eating a lot of processed food.
