The coorelation of HFCS being put in literally everything since the 1970s (Campbell's soup contained HFCS until last year, most major bread brands use it, etc) and the explosion in weight gain and obesity in America would be one hell of a coincidence.
Between that and growth in sedentary lifestyles you have a pretty good recipe... if the low carb/Keto people are right (and in my personal experience carb sequestration works very well for weight loss and is way more sustainable long term than starving yourself purely for caloric reduction).
The obsession with calories by medical authorities (and disinterested doctors) as the go-to solution for weight loss since the 1970s may have served as a massive distraction.
