Why aren't soft drinks made with sugar anymore?!


Question:

Why aren't soft drinks made with sugar anymore?

I hate corn syrup, it tastes yucky, and is not good for you. It is especially bad for diabetics. Here in Canada our soft drinks used to be made with real sugar (tasted much nicer!) but Free Trade prevailed and now our soft drinks are made with this evil Corn Syrup. I notice that the US is moving away from TransFats for health reasons. Any chance the US will move away from Corn Syrup for similar reasons?


Answers:
Corn syrup is cheaper than sugar.
The point of having a business is to make money.

they are made with splenda and equal

what are you talking about American soda is full of sugar but also corn syrup

They've been making them with corn syrup for over 50 years, how old are you...

Here in the US we can still get a "real" Coke by going to a Mexican restaurant or store that sells "Mexican" Coke (bottled in Mexico, imported to the US). See if you can find a place like that near you. Or, you could just move to Baja California....

to sum it all up........ it comes down to money .....corn syrup is cheaper than pure cane sugar. all the pencil pushers want a cheaper substitute so they can line there pockets with more money. did the price of coco cola drop when coke switched to corn syrup....not at all

Corn Syrup is cheaper.
Ask a professor who would familiar with the citric acid cycle and she will tell you that your body cant tell the difference between high fructose corn syrup and sugar - why? h6o12c6 is the same

There is a soft drink called BOYLANS available from the midwest east it is great. I love the grape. this entire line is made with cane sugar.

Corn syrup is dirt cheap, and the soft drink industry does not care what you think of them, they just want your money.

Some beverages still have sugar, such as Jarritos (Mexico).

Well I guess I am not up on my soft drinks really but I was told by my diatition that no soft drink was good for you, no matter the sugar or the cornsyrup or if it was a diet soda, it is all very bad for you in one way or another. I don't drink soft drinks anymore.

SOFT MEANS NO LOT OF YOU KNOW UM SUGAR OR ASSAD.SO THEY SWITCH WITH CORN STARCH AND SYRUP.
