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. http://www.newswise.com/articles/view/532433/#imagetop 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 http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/art...?artid=2639773 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. http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/704432 ENDO 2009: Use of Artificial Sweeteners Linked to 2-Fold Increase in Diabetes -- - Billy There are three kinds of men: The ones that learn by reading. The few who learn by observation. The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.
