The would be doing something really useful if they removed HFCS and replaced it with granulated cane sugar.

Hmmmm.
Same concerns as pBA.
Don’t Fanta and Powerade still come in plastic bottles?
Hmmmm.

According to medical researchers at the Mayo Clinic, excessive consumption of soft drinks containing BVO has been linked to negative health effects, including reports of memory loss and skin and nerve problems.

I was going to make a comment but I forgot what I was going to say.

Coca-Cola said it would switch to using sucrose acetate isobutyrate or glycerol ester of rosina

Well, that certainly makes me feel better!

If I want soda, I use plain seltzer with juice or lemon in it.

When my kids were young, that was what I gave them in the summer. Someone accused me of watering down their juice!!!
