> Yes, I'm questioning if high fructose corn syrup is worse for the body than table sugar.
Study is from Sweden. I think high fructose corn syrup may be a North American thing.

My assumption is that the GP expects that it will be gutted by the Department of Government Efficiency and/or be significantly laid off via Schedule F conversion [2]. However, rules made earlier this year by the OPM should limit that specific method of getting rid of civil servants [3].

May be the case for Sweden, but the 'strict EU regulations' ceased to exist in 2017.
I'd guess that applies to 'much of Europe' too, then.
That aside, we always had https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverted_sugar_syrup , which is frowned upon by many.
It is. It's not a common ingredient here in Europe or most places in the world. Corn syrup is a weird side effect of subsidized corn farming in the US. This causes all sorts of health issues in the population.
Anyway, you'd struggle to find it in supermarkets or in food outside the US. Even coca cola doesn't use corn syrup in it's beverages outside the US. As far as I know, there is no major taste difference and I've never heard any US people complain about their coke tasting a bit off outside the US. But I don't drink cola that often myself.
Apparently, you are not well informed about the happenings across the pond. It is well known that Coke made in Mexico uses sugar, and it is a known thing in the US to get Mexican Coke. There used to be a small plant in Dublin, Texas that made Dr. Pepper with sugar that was a well known for the different taste. Eventually Dr. Pepper won it's case against the Dublin plant and it is no longer available.
To claim that there's no taste difference between sugar vs HCFS just shows you're not well informed on the topic.
> Regardless of what was actually in the serving containers, people stuck by their original choice. Those who preferred what really was the Mexican Coke the first time (we'll call these guys the Mexico Boosters) unanimously picked the Coke that I told them was the Mexican Coke the second time, whether it really was or was not. Even when the containers were completely removed from the test and the Coke was served in plastic cups, the Coke labeled as Mexican was picked by the Mexico Boosters every time.

It is listed on so many labels as ingredient that it is really hard to avoid.
