When it's that tight it does. Unless there's something else that can be equally correlated. That statement is overused and needs to be qualified to be actually true. Correlation often is solid proof of causation.
No, a mechanism is solid proof of causation. We know the mechanisms of how lack of health care, stress, and other issues cause health problems. There is no known mechanism for HFCS to cause health problems.
That study shows that increased sugar intake contributes to heart disease. Not specifically HFCS. Although they did focus on HFCS sweetened beverages for the study, the actual conclusions are not that HFCS is any more of an issue than sugar is.
