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.

1. read labels and avoid plastic

I have been seeing a big increase in the hugh US-style plastic "disposable" bottles in the last 5 or 6 years down there. That along with plastic shopping bags is really trashing the place.

Don't drink the water, have Coke instead! Can I giganto-size that for ya?
