bullfrog: To be fair BLS, the link you provide focuses mainly on demonstrating that high fructose diets are probably responsible, at least in part, for high rates of obesity in the US, but not that food sold in the US is particularly rich in high fructose syrup (although some products such as bread, cereals .. are mentioned). But more generally I agree with your point that too much of the food in the US is processed and 'enriched', eg the fact that US beef is so 'tender' compared to other countries could be due that it is full of hormones (which are forbidden in many other countries).
this is not my personal experience but I have read accounts by Americans who lived in Poland and returned or Poles who lived in America that most sweetened things in America are TOO sweet - inlcuding your daily orange juice, and if you think about bread - bread here is not sweatened at all - if bread in America is sweetened then it's a strange thing
