POPSThe real "Real Thing" On a trip to Mexico I wondered why the Coke tasted so much better. Someone told me it was because they still used cane sugar. Luckily Mexican Coke (as we call it) is sold at my local grocery. It costs around $1.30 per little glass bottle. Ouch! I gladly pay it though, because it tastes so much better and it keeps me from drinking very many. I drink it once a week or so as a treat. If you can find it, give it a try. I do wish it was made in the US. Maybe the trend will give Coca-Cola pause, and they will start making it here. If people will pay more for it, and it seems they will, what's the problem? My biggest problem with HFCS is that they put it in everything. EVERY. THING.

All sugars except for glucose caused elevated levels 24 hours after the meal." from ScienceBlogs 6/11: Artificial Sweeteners Sodas sweetened with artificial sweeteners have long been the go-to drink for dieters looking to cut back on calories, but a new study from Purdue psychologists suggests that high consumption of such beverages is linked to obesity. Rats fed a sugar substitute gained significantly more weight during the course of the study than those fed regular glucose.
