I think this claim is related to insulin response and cravings. But this relates to many foods, not just HFCS.

More broadly, that relates to sugars in general.
I've seen a lot of wild claims regarding HFCS, but I have seen no compelling evidence that it's more harmful than any other type of sugar, despite having asked for it in the past. If you want to argue that it's damaging on an economic level, then go right ahead. But health-wise? I'm just not buying it without some proof.
It strikes me as being very similar to the FUD that surrounds the organic food movement in general.
EDIT - Also, it's worth noting that if you're eating at KFC the last thing you need to worry about health-wise are the sauce packets.
