High Fructose Corn Syrup is not very popular overseas. Mexico however put a tax on foods that have HFCS. In terms of Europe, some foods contain high fructose corn syrup but its no where near how much we have in America. It is because Corn is not a crop that is readily grown like it is here. I did just read that HFCS contains some Mercury in foods that are available in the United States, I don't know if that's the same in Europe or anywhere else.
