Yep. That's the real reason they use it, but the soda manufacturers contend that they use it because Americans prefer the flavor profile of soda made with HCFS.
This is one of the reasons I buy natural soda made with cane syrup and avoid products with HCFS. I do not want to support the corn lobby in any way, shape, or form.
