They are fat and diabetic because they drink and eat too many empty calories. Doesn't matter what the sugar is. Look at the AMOUNTS consumed, not just the change from sugar to HFCS.

This is lazy people looking for someone to blame, IMO, and they are not willing to look at their moon-faced reflection in the mirror.
I agree with that also, but I still want to know if the product contains HFCS, just as I want to know what preservatives are used, the fat content, and the total calories. Changing the name because it is associated with obesity and Type 2 diabetes is deceptive. The term was fine until it started getting bad press.
