More than 70 percent of Nebraska corn crop this year could go to ethanol production.

Yipes!

Hmmmm, I wonder if this means there will be less subsidized cornsyrup hidden in our foods... and a lower incidence of the associated diseases, like obesity and diabetes?

Nah. probably not.   Obesity and diabetes are ENORMOUSLY profitable; plus, the resulting early deaths help lower the expenditures of Social Security and other entitlement programs.   Corn is quite the wonder-food when viewed from the proper economic perspective.
