This is article. Actually high fructose syrup is not that different
from sucrose which I would assume under the acidic soda conditions would
invert to the 50/50 mixture of fructose and glucose. Brings back old
memories as one summer I worked in a control lab at ICI in plant that
made sorbitol and mannitol which are the hydrogenated products of
glucose and sucrose. Sorbitol and mannitol are dietetic type sweetners
but consuming to much has laxative action.

Trouble with logic is that it always hinges on its premise that may, or
may not be correct.

So it appears that the Journal of Nutrition is battling it out with
PubMed over the toxicity of HFCS (IIRC nutritionists are paid well by
large companies like Kelloge, ConAgra, Nestl, Cargill, Kraft,
Pepsico, and General Mills to tout their products).

That just leaves us with, Dicarbonyls attacking the mitochondria

and the GMO enabler, Cabbage Mosaic Virus (CaMV).

Think I'll just try and stick with stevia.


Got me thinking about how many folks know of bitter melon. Bitter
seems to be lacking in our foods and wondered if we had it then perhaps
our sweet could be countered will simple sweets. I remember being
enamored with sucking on common honey suckle as a youth.
