Since everything is no longer sugar but government subsidized high-fructose-corn-syrup does this even work anymore?

Yes- they have about the same energy content and will burn about the same.

High fructose corn syrup is sugar, and is very similar to table sugar (sucrose). It's about 42% fructose and 58% glucose, while table sugar (sucrose) is a disaccharide, of fructose and glucose bonded together in a 1:1 ratio, so table sugar ends up having slightly more fructose and slightly less glucose.
