You have been doing some good research. May I make a comment on the composition of one variant of HFCS? HFCS-55, used to sweeten all national brands of soda is 55%fructose:45% glucose. This appears to be only 5% different than the 50:50 ratio found in sucrose, table sugar, until you do the math. 55%:45%= 55/45= 1.22. This means that in every Coke there is, compared to glucose, 22% fructose. Read Dr. Dana Flavin's summary "The Metabolic Dangers of High Fructose Corn syrup". It is the excess fructose over time that has wreaked havoc on our waistlines and our health. Ditch HFCS, especially as a sweetener for beverages. Take care. Hi,
