So far, research has yielded conflicting results about the effects of high-fructose corn syrup. For example, various early studies showed an association between increased consumption of sweetened beverages (many of which contained high-fructose corn syrup) and obesity. But recent research — some of which is supported by the beverage industry — suggests that high-fructose corn syrup isn't intrinsically less healthy than other sweeteners, nor is it the root cause of obesity.

So the memo you missed is that HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP IS MAKING AMERICA OBESE. And the memo they missed is that it's their Twinkies & Coke diet that's doing it.
