Too much extra "food" and your "gut" becomes a fermentor for these bacteria, i.e. they are overpopulated and so are their waste products (gas, acids etc). Too much HFCS can upset that balance and give too much food to those bacteria.
And on top of that, there are theory’s that those bacteria then send signals to your brain to make you crave more sugar.
