I appreciate your point, but typically you want to stay away from things that contain HFCS not simply because HFCS is "bad" for you, (jury is still out on that one), rather, because foods that contain it tend to be very calorie dense.
The problem with our diets as americans is that EVERYTHING contains sugar/HFCS.
For example, I get all my carbs from brown rice, and bran cereal. I have the occasional slice of 100% wheat bread. Why? Because almost all bread on the market contains HFCS and each slice is typically 110 calories. I'd rather get the same amount of calories from a much more satisfying bowl of brown rice and veggies then from a dense, unsatisfying piece of bread.
