FYI, if you care. I just returned from a visit to Niagara Falls and we stayed on the Canadian side. I noticed that there was no HFC in soda. Instead it has sucrose/glucose sugar. No corn in soda, we're probably the only country that puts corn and SOY for that matter in food...

I do not get the whole aversion to high fructose corn syrup. It's just sugar made from corn..more a natural food than many of the other additives in foods.

HFCS is not natural. Making it entails a convoluted chemical process that begins with genetically modified corn. The FDA even says it is NOT natural HFCS is not 'natural', says FDA

It may not be in the soda up there, but it's in just about everything else we eat! You'd be amazed how many products contain HFCS. Did you know that there are between 10 and 12 teaspoons of sugar in one 12 oz can of soda? Random bit of information I learned from Modern Marvels last night, LOL.

We have been buying "cott cola" which also owns RC by the way. A canadian owned company and it has no HFCS and it is really good and cheap. I recommend it. We have been buying at Sam's club.
