Description : If consumers rebel against high fructose corn syrup, what do you think will be the economic results for corn farming? Are beet and cane sugars more or less expensive to raise than corn? Which crop is the least caustic to the soil?
Last Answer : I don't know any of the details but My understanding is that U.S. government subsidizes the corn industry so much that it's not economically feasible for sugar cane manufacturers to compete as a food ... . Hence why you can buy Coca-Cola made in Mexico that uses real cane sugar instead of HFCS.
