no high fructose corn syrup

[kuulani]

so, i bought this drink for the first time, it's pretty good. and i notice the label says "no high fructose corn syrup"

ingredients: filtered water, crystalline fructose, orange juice concentrate, mango puree, passion fruit juice concentrate, citric acid, pectin, natural flavor, ascorbic acid (c), siberian ginseng and guarana extracts, natural color, niacin (b3), cyanacobalamin (b12).

so, unc, is this good for you?

 

[unclehobart]

Negative.

Crystalline fructose is just the devil by another name.

I've been reacting to high hell of of supposedly kosher coca cola. Apparently corn syrup of some form is back on the menu... so no more coke for me.

check the TRUE kosher places (don't know if there is a large jewish orthidox community in Atlanta) they would have tons of stuff made with out corn, or corn by-products, including cola, and other stuff made with potato syrop.

Brand names like coke will flock to to the reform jewish dietery laws allowing corn syrop, to save their budgets

There is a local brand called Red Rock that has always been made from cane sugar... and in bottles... so I have a bypass already in place.

I've already stocked on lots of Manischewitz Matzoh as it is the only 'cracker' that I can eat. They make for good ham and cheese toastings... if you can forgive my double non-kosher treatment of them.

[unclehobart]

The only thing 100% trustworthy is 'cane sugar' and 'pure cane sugar'.

Turned out to be me in the first day of yet another cold. Passover coke is still sugar ... or at least the orthodox union claims it still to be on the level.

Why not just leave out the fizzy drinks altogether and rather have juice?

 

[unclehobart]

Thats how I live 11 months out of the year. Variety is the spice of life.

*is drinking orange juice right now*

 

[AlphaTroll]

So, which month do you devote to the fizzies?

The month leading up to Passover as that is the only time when coke is made with sugar.

I'd kill for ome juice right now....just had some particularly spicy nuts.

 

[unclehobart]

Spicy as in chemical heat or just an overdose of spices?

Nevermind. I won't say it. Bad Gato...bad gato...
