As I understand it, most (read: a large percentage) of American foods
have corn in some form in them. Whether its for preservation or filler
or I dunno but I would suspect that also counts as one of those "hidden
sugars".

I am still trying to find the sugar consumption per capita for Canada
but am having a difficult time finding anything. I have checked Stats
Canada and the Health Canada sites and still cant find much. I am
beginning to think that its a secret. :)
