The statistics for sugar cane consumption vs HFCS consumption are hard for me to find. However, the use of HFCS is a food production choice because of its ease of use in product production. Because of its liquid quality, HFCS is easier than cane sugar to mix into the ingredients. It requires less energy and mechanical complexity in food production.

"I predict that the use of HFCS as a fuel source in the production of methanol will drive the price upward as it competes for its use in the food industry."

Don't forget that it is also used because tariffs and restrictions on sugar imports makes our sugar about twice as expensive as sugar on the world market.

That thread did not mention methanol.
