> Well, a ban on refined starches and corn sugar work quite well. People were much healthier (from an obesity perspective) when such products were not available.
Do Scotland, New Zealand, Hungary use "corn sugar"? We don't use it much in England and we (along with those other countries) also have problems with obesity.
I'll happily accept that calories from sugar are a problem.

How much of a problem, though, compared to say, the US? I've travelled quite a bit in Europe, Asia, etc, and I've seen nothing compared to the US level of obesity. Heck, the kind of people you'll see in a Walmart (and not isolated -- tons of them, and all over the states)...
I guess it's also other stuff: deep fried anything, Sneaker and Mars bars, chips (crisps), BS "sports" drinks, sodas, etc etc.
