Actually, it "helps" out quite a few others such as the employees, the retailers and their employees, the governments in tax returns, but I get your point. I have been avoiding foods with high fructose corn syrup for years, and I have informed my family and friends of its reported dangers. I, nor they, have not had a problem getting nutritious food without the stuff. In fact, my major problem, and I'm not wealthy, probably lower middle-class, is too much good nutritious food. Overeating is probably as much or more of a problem in this country than the particular foods we eat. And making boogymen out of "evil" corporations and victims out of an ill-informed public in order to unconstitutionally regulate us is far worse than the dangers of high fructose corn syrup.
