HFCS probably does not cause obesity more than any other sugar (or carb for that matter; it's just calories). The problem is that it's stupid cheap (because corn subsidies) and the food industry pretty much uses it everywhere.
Why you see HFCS in more obese countries is because it's correlated with a "western diet", which is correlated with wealth, which is correlated with lazy people having so much money that they can eat themselves to death.
