Good point. At least sugar is natural instead of a bunch of man made chemicals.

- drchickensalad 9y agoSoft drinks are very refined sugar. Quite different from natural. Also implying natural is better.
- baq 9y ago'natural' usually comes with fiber, which makes it's digestion completely different.
- SAI_Peregrinus 9y agoRefined sugar (either HFCS or crystallized cane) doesn't come with fiber.
- icebraining 9y agoThe sugar used in drinks - especially in the US - is far from natural. There's no HFCS in nature.
- Keverw 9y agoYep. I would prefer if they went with just regular cane sugar instead but I know some drinks do have a version with that now.
- senectus1 9y agoAustralia overwhelmingly uses cane sugar, but we still have plenty of obesity. I think its less to do with the type of sugar consumed... and more about how much we consume.
- calvano915 9y agoHFCS is chemically identical to naturally occurring fructose and glucose (high concentration of simple sugars). Not advocating to consume it, but the possible harms of consumption have to do with simple sugar metabolism, and its consequences, and not the origins of the substance.
