Why does high fructose corn syrup have to be in seemingly everything? It's even in V-8 Splash, I didn't even know it was in bread....Does it have to be in there?

It doesn't *have* to be in everything. It's in so many things because it's a cheap sugar that can mask the taste of inferior ingredients and is itself inferior to cane sugar.

Well, maybe they should use LOW fructose corn syrup.

Good question. I salute your taking an interest in it. It's a terrible sweetener from a health standpoint. It's in so much factory food because it is such a cheap sweetener and most customers care way more about price that reading labels and figuring out what they should eat. It would disappear in a heartbeat of consumers shunned products it is in.
