A few good places to start to learn more about HFCS:

What to know what fast foods to avoid?

Be ware during your web search for information...watch who the web site is published by, sometimes they are special interest groups, lobbyist, or corn producer organizations. One such site is created by Corn Refiners Association the site is all about HFCS Facts. But as you might guess it is only their way of making the public feel safe about their thoughts on HFCS.
UPDATE: May 11, 2008
I found another blog that discusses HFCS, thought you might be interested.
And American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Vol. 79, No. 4, 537-543, April 2004 article entitled "Consumption of high-fructose corn syrup in beverages may play a role in the epidemic of obesity."
UPDATE: May 14, 2008
Doing research at work I ran across this article that gives an account of trying to cut corn out of the author's diet for three days. She refers to the movie King Corn as well. I've heard good things about it but have not watch it yet.
