The random political thoughts thread has a derail topic of sugar, the sugar industry, high fructose corn syrup and where to find soda with real sugar.
Jones Soda - real sugar
Around Passover Coke releases Coke with real sugar (Kosher for Passover)

Studies are coming out linking HFCS to the obesity epidemic. America started getting "fat" when HFCS started being put in so much food. More than likely HFCS is bad, yet it is in so much stuff. Ketchup, soup, soda, salad dressing, yogurt, etc... I've been trying to cut it out of my diet for close to a year now, and have been mostly successful. I don't flip if I eat something with hfcs in it, or drink soda now and then - but I do notice I feel a lot better if I don't consume it.
Sugar isn't great, hfcs is worse. Crack open those pixie stix and bring back sugar!
