Now if we could get Pepsi and Coke to remove this HFCS as it plays havoc with our Insulin.

Jones removed it too...but they still use artificial colors and sodium benzoate...so they are just jumping on the bandwagon.
With cost of corn way up Coke is already looking at ditching HFCS. They loved HFCS because it used to be sooo cheap. Now Coke and Cargill are agian trying to get Stevia approved for us in the US, so it will get done.
Wow..that is really interesting. Thanks for the article.
I recently found Coke with cane sugar at Walmart, but it still was costing more than the Coke made with HFCS at the same store. I will be keeping an eye out on it.
I like Steaz brand sodas as well as Blue Sky organics. Blue Sky does have some sodas that have glucose-fructose syrup though and that is just another name for HFCS.

Also the Kosher for Passover Coke (yellow top and sucrose in the ingredients, but the yellow top makes it a quick identifier) has sugar instead of HFCS, unfortunately I haven't seen it around in the stores this year

Yes, the Coke with the sugar was located in the Mexican food section.
