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.

Soda Warning? New Study Supports Link Between Diabetes, High-fructose
Corn Syrup

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.
Had never heard of it but brief google shows it has detractors too.
Yeah, Monsanto, who owns Nutrasweet. Stevia has been used for a millenia
in South America with no problems. Presently, Japan and Germany use it.
Of interest to all those that profess "organic", all these sweeteners
are natural products

Reminds me of one of my favorite stories when I was working.
Eating at company cafeteria in US, only artificial sweetner available at
the time was Sweet & Low with saccharine. At company cafeteria in
Canada, all that was available was Sweet & Low with cyclamate. But, at
company cafeteria in Switzerland, the Sweet & Low contained both
saccharine and cyclamate. US considered cyclamate carcinogenic while
Canada considered saccharine carcinogenic and Switzerland was not
concerned about either.
