You'd think we have the technology to analyze a sample and figure it out. Oh well.

I know but you can't reverse-engineer food especially when it comes to chemistry. All you can see is what's inside but you won't know how to make it.

I've heard Russian tried to do that but failed.

Think about it...

Which would you rather have...

... a person smoking next to you and you have to put up with the smoke?

... a person drinking soda next to you and you have to put up with nothing?

Lmao!!!

That's why I like Dublin Dr Pepper, made out of sugar cane.

I only buy sodas made with real cane sugar. Now, there are many affordable options because the demand is there.

Same here. I get headaches if I get too much High Fructose Corn Syrup. So I avoid all foods with HFCS in it. It's either real sugar or nothing for me!!!

Doug5 · 09-09-2011, 05:00 PM

I hate to admit it but I think soda with hfcs taste better than sugar. I tried sugar mtn dew and it didnt taste the same

Yes, they do taste different. I grew up drinking soda with real sugar. so I prefer the real sugar drinks.

the problem with HFCS is how this substance is broken down in the body. Some studies even suggest that HFCS reduces your feeling of being full so you end up eating more. I haven't seen any study that confirms this, but several suggest that this is possible.

My husband is addicted to Mt.Dew. If he doesn't have one he'll get a headache. I have had no issues with Mt.Dew if I stop drinking soda in general I do not get headaches. Regardless, it's still not good for your health. I do not think they need to ban sodas but people need to drink in moderation. Easier to type/say than to do, of course.
