I will concede that the high-fructose sweetener is an ADM conspiracy, 
but not that corn syrup in general is never used *in real candy*.  Corn 
sweetener is of course used in the US because cane sugar is artificially 
kept sky-high in price,  You may blame Congress and ADM for that. 
However, corn syrup would be used in many kinds of candy, anyway, 
regardless.  Perhaps not in chocolate bonbons.
