This is really infuriating. There is a ton of sugar in almost everything. Now they advertise Coke that has an obscene amount of cane sugar instead of an obscene amount of corn syrup as a health benefit. There has been a lot of talk about a code of ethics for developers. How about one for people working in the food industry? The people working in marketing and product development do truly damaging things to whole nations. They should be ashamed.
