You are being rightfully suspicious
There has been a documented increase in the use of corn syrup especially the notoriously unhealthy "high fructose kind" as an ingredient in U.S processed foods. In Canada many similar products are sweetened with Sugar.
It's largely political.
Corn is a subsidised crop in the U.S
it subsidizez corn farmers, while propping up sugar prices and limiting imports, as well as blockading Cuba (and its sugar)
And if you know all this already, as is quite likely, ulp..sorry.
