Mr. Mills of Credit Suisse says that A.D.M., Tate & Lyle and Corn Products International all have had big sales increases of high-fructose corn syrup in Mexico, largely offsetting their United States declines.
In a reversal, manufacturers are replacing the sugar in Mexican soda and other beverages with the less-expensive high-fructose corn syrup. In Mexico this year, consumption of the sweetener is expected to be up by a whopping 50 percent, according to the United States Department of Agriculture.

This is sad for me personally. Until now, I could go to any small local Mexican-American grocer and buy a Coke, imported from Mexico, sweetened with sugar. On the rare occasions I indulged in "real" Coke, I tried to do that. Now both countries will have this nutritional nightmare imposed on us.
OTOH, Mountain Dew is available here in a "classic" variety sweetened with sugar. Too bad I can't stand the stuff...
