Just my anecdotal evidence, I lost 60 lbs. giving up high fructose soft drinks.

Just a question, is south Florida and Hawaii the only places where sugar cane can be grown in the US?

[Oystir]

Beet sugar and cane sugar are essentially the same chemical: both are composed of around 99.9–99.95% pure sucrose (C12H22O11) and are considered chemically identical in refined form

Florida, Louisiana, Hawaii, and Texas.

The more whining reuters, AP (American Pravda), CNN, ABC, SEE BS and the rest do, the more it means we are on the right track and America is winning!!!

Same here (not 60 lbs as I was only 210, but A LOT). Easiest diet ever!

I thought LA grew sugar also...

Anyway, Jennifer doesn’t seem to know that Coca Cola was always made with cane sugar. The “tampering with the recipe” came from Coke. Going back to sugar would be more like UNtampering...

You know times are tough for the lib media when they start shilling for HFCS.

[ansel12]

Anyone who has had a Diet Coke, knows that it would taste much better made with cane sugar.

[Williams]

They really don’t know what to say because they know the sweeteners being used are not healthy and that’s beyond doubt.

I went into a chain which had Mexican Diet Coke in their fountain.

So that wasn’t even sugar but they were using a different artificial sweetener the details of which I don’t remember. The Mexican Diet Coke was way better than our Diet Cokes.

So, if the tariffs were on sugar from the beginning, and we mostly had sugar in soda up until the ‘80s, we can go back to that. I remember getting Coca-Cola in 16 ounce leaded glass 8-packs (returnables) in Chicago on sale for 99 cents. The sugar could not have been TOO expensive.

Now get Coca Cola to make Fanta in the US like they make it in Europe: some real orange juice and cane sugar. HFCS is just a wretched food ingredient.

[jjotto]

Cane no longer grown in Hawaii except as a boutique crop.

Beet sugar or imported cane sugar.

They can make Coca-Cola any way they wish...I drink Diet Pepsi Mini’s........

I had developed an iced matcha tea latte habit at Starbucks in 2008. My weight rose to 208 lbs. Starbucks dropped the use of melon syrup sweetener and made the product taste bad. I dropped it and my weight rapidly fell to 192 lbs. Better for my finances too.

This morning I weighed in a 146.8 lbs. Hold my weight after the Whipple surgery for cancer has been a challenge.

The mass media has no idea what they are even saying. Sugar production comes from GMO Sugar Beets. The beet pulp and other plant byproducts go into all sorts of food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and animal feed products. The majority of all sugar sold in grocery stores is beet sugar, not cane sugar. Beet sugar crops are essentially grown in potato growing states. Idaho, Nebraska, Dakotas, Iowa, etc...

[Mariner]

My guess is Coke would increase sales 25% if they sold a version with exactly half the sugar of its current product...and no stevia etc. to make it sweeter.

[Lurker]

All this means is that the sugar price supports should be done away with.

I gave up soda pop 20 years ago.

[Greetings_Puny_Humans]

I’ve been on vacation in South Padre with my cousin, who has been confiscating the sodas, and I’m already noticing my pants are looser.

[BenLurkin]

What does Mexico have to do with it?
