High fructose corn syrup is gross. Makes you fat. So does the crap in diet soda.

The headline says the company responded???

Could we leverage a deal to revitalize Cuba’s cane sugar crop by 1000x and be a huge customer in exchange for political reforms and freedoms for their people? Timing could be right. I’d love to see tourism revitalized, infrastructure their rebuilt fresh and a huge Trump casino resort that the entire nation of Cuba benefits large from.

High fructose is when the diabetic rates shot up along with obesity. They claim there is no difference, even though there clearly is.

Also the taste is different.

How come no one has come out with cola flavored soda water? I’m talking the kind without any sweetness or sugar.

I’ve always heard high fructose corn syrup is unhealthy. I don’t remember why. I know it’s not as sweet.

Another example of thinking that new government action will fix a problem when in fact, old government action is what caused the problem.

Get rid of the corn subsidies and HFCS prices will go up, which will make cane sugar a more viable alternative, which may cause consumers to switch to products which use cane sugar since it tastes better and is healthier. Although, you may have to pay a few cents more for a coke.

Instead of looking to government to fix your problems, force them to stop causing your problems.

“Replacing high fructose corn syrup with cane sugar doesn’t make sense,” Bode said in a statement, per AP. “President Trump stands for American manufacturing jobs, American farmers, and reducing the trade deficit. Replacing high fructose corn syrup with cane sugar would cost thousands of American food manufacturing jobs, depress farm income, and boost imports of foreign sugar, all with no nutritional benefit.

The irony.....

Exactly what nutritional benefit does Coke have????

I sure hope this guy didn't say that with a straight face.

Some folks can make their Coca Cola a lot healthier by not pouring so much rum into it.

Do you really think Coca Cola Company cares about the health of its consumers?
