What's almost more scary is how pervasive sugars are in everything we eat and drink.

If it's not sugar, it's high-fructose corn syrup, sucrose, fructose, lactose, and more and more.

Yep, that's for sure. Since i don't drink enough water and i know about the high sugar content in sodas, that's where i'm starting.

I do admit to enjoying a real Coke or Vault now and then.

I try to give up soda periodically, but it just tastes so much better than water after a while… and those no-cal flavor additives are

*too* sweet, IMO.

that's something to think about! btw, what is a better alternative for sugar? i find artificial sweeteners odd tasting

I don't think there is one, really. Ingesting less sugar seems to be the best overall option.

yes, that's true Atropos

I am still hoping to try a Mexican or Canadian Coca Cola w/ real sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup ... some day!

I am pretty sure I must have had one when I was a kid in the 1970s, before they switched over.

next time we drive to Canada, I'll bring some back to share with everyone.

Yay!

There's also Kosher Coke, which I think is also made with real sugar…

nods - it's the same as Canadian Coke. So if Passover happens before we drive north again ....

\o/

really liking some of the new Snapple flavors, which are lightly sweetened with real sugar.

are there any in particular that you like most?

can't remember which right now, unfortunately.

wait
