But isn't fructose pretty much only a US based sweetener due to corn subsidies?
The rest of the world uses sugar in coke which is a better mixture of sucrose and fructose.
- ncmncm 5y agoThey are the same, metabolically. It is a fact that UK, India, and Pakistan are also suffering from epidemic levels of metabolic syndrome, traceable to sugar. The US suffers worst because sugar is massively subsidized in the US. The notion that sugar is less harmful than fructose corn syrup is sugar company propaganda. Both are identically harmful. As noted in TFA, sucrose gets split into fructose and glucose before it gets into the can.
