- hombre_fatal 7y agoA quick search shows that juices are at least as sugary if not moreso, especially grape juice. I live next to a shop that squeezes fresh juice, but I mix it with at least three parts carbonated water. Otherwise it's such an easy way to overconsume calories. And possibly the least fulfilling way, as well.
- rorykoehler 7y agoFruit juice is actually nutritious though. What nutrients are you getting from a can of coke?
- forgotmypw3 7y agoOne can of coke provides 75% RDV for monsantium and 66% RDV corn syrup.
- tapland 7y agoSugar is very soluble? It's not at all hard and as prviously stated, fruit juices contain at least as much sugars naturally.
- beenBoutIT 7y agoIn the US we get our sugar from high fructose corn syrup unless we spend more to buy the imported Mexican Coke that's made with real cane sugar.

When I lived in Seattle, I always found it amusing that soccer moms would brag about buying Mexican Coke at Whole Foods like it was something special. They could just drive an hour north and buy Canadian Coke, which is also made with sugar, for half the price!
- Nition 7y agoSurely not really half the price if you can buy one locally, and have to drive two hours there and back for the other.
- maxxxxx 7y agoFrom my calculations a can of coke has 12 teaspoons of sugar. That seems almost undrinkably sweet.
- reaperducer 7y agoSugar is very soluble? This is true. That's why in baking, sugar is considered a liquid, not a solid.
