It's at least restricted and banned in UK. Plus many more chemicals that are allowed in the US and not in Europe. So don't preach US food safety to me.
Shitting in the US is easy in regards to food safety and science:
This difference explains why Europe has restricted or banned many more chemicals in food and cosmetics than the US.
I know where I'll buy my food and it's not located in northern America.
You realize corn syrup is bad because it's cheap and overused to make food hyper palatable and not because it's intrinsically bad right? It's literally just as bad/good as cane sugar and the issue is over consumption.

concerns over the potential health risks associated with HFCS, including obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.
Just ignore the science as per usual. There is so much scientific research out there about how bad High Fructose Corn Syrup is, but it's like promoting a conspiracy theory. Anyway not my problem because I do not to live in the US.
Obesity, diabetes, and heart disease... Wow! Symptoms of over consuming sugar! https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9551185/ it's almost like HFCS is literally just a sugar, wow! I don't blame you for your ignorance, it's the natural state of being after all, but I do blame you for your persistence in peddling open misinformation.
You stay in your fantasy bubble and swallowing the sweet, sweet propaganda. I'm out.
