A Union Against The Fat Tax

You can say it: Sugar is necessary for proper metabolism.

Oh really? You should buy yourself a humming bird feeder and a box full of straws.

I've yet to meet a Dr that recommends sugar in the form delivered by soda. I quite agree that there are many processed foods that fit the box. Raw ingredients should be tax exempt - and cheese

Sugar is sugar is sugar. The only difference is one configuration sticks to the teeth better than the other.

Not true, different sugars are metabolised differently, not to mention that soda delivers a higher dose of sugar than is recommended, particularly in drink format. Drinking sugar is not recommended by any nutritionist or Dr.

I just wish they would take corn fructose syrup out of our bread and milk.

They put it in our milk? I thought milk contained lactose.

Was wondering about that too. I just checked my milk container and couldn't find any indication that it contains corn fructose syrup.

Poor Kool Aid guy is going to be one of the unemployed soon

I had a bottle recently that had it. I'll see if its in the fridge at home.

There's a difference between complex and simple carbohydrates, Bill. Like I said - buy yourself a humming bird feeder and a box of straws. See how long you can last a diet of simple sugars.

They put in in bottles of chocolate milk now. One sure way to stop the widespread use of HFCS is to end corn subsidies. What a fvckin racket that whole thing is.

You need to take a trip to a Trader Joe. Non homogenized milk and bread without sweetness, well some of them anyway, yay!

In Peru, they make coca cola & Inka cola (their brand) with REAL sugar and not high fructose corn syrup. It tastes so much better.

I have to confess I buy real juice and everything, but nothing beats Kool Aid once in a while. Reminds me of when I was a kid. Oh & that uses real sugar too, a whole cup of it

Out here in So. Cal, you can go to many Mexican markets and restaurants and get bottled Coke from Mexico with real sugar. There definitely is a taste difference. HFCS make the soda more viscous.

I haven't made Kool-Aid in years, but we'd use less than the recommended amount of sugar.

Slightly sweetened, homemade ice tea is good alternative. From what I've read, even real fruit juice is not good for kids to be drinking a lot of. We buy apple and orange juice, but try to limit how much they drink.
