    “Corn syrup is a common and cheap sweetener, which is why Coca-Cola made the switch many years ago. But sugar-filled soda isn’t healthy, [health experts have previously told CNN, ] whether it is made with cane sugar or corn syrup.“

        Honey sodas are delicious. My Aldi sometimes stocks a brand of honey-sweetened sodas and they slap

        apparently the acid in cola breaks down the sucrose of the cane sugar into basic glucose and fructose over time, so the end result after sitting on a shelf for two weeks will be exactly the same, except one is more expensive

        see video from ann reardon (how to cook that) on the topic: https://youtu.be/ajVWRx8vsjE

          Yes, the acid in cola (like phosphoric acid) slowly breaks down sucrose into glucose and fructose over time in a process called hydrolysis. This reaction is sped up by the acidity and warmth of the drink, transforming the sucrose (cane sugar) into a nearly equal 1:1 mixture of glucose and fructose, a substance sometimes called invert sugar.

          The process: The acidic environment in cola causes a chemical reaction known as hydrolysis, which splits the bond in the sucrose molecule to form one molecule of glucose and one molecule of fructose.

          Speed: This reaction is slow at room temperature but is an ongoing process that occurs throughout the life of the beverage.

          Result: After a time, a bottle of cola that originally contained sucrose will contain a mixture of free glucose and fructose. This is similar to what happens when the body digests sucrose in the stomach.

          Monitoring: Some people can estimate the age of a bottle of cola by measuring the ratio of glucose to fructose, as the breakdown of sucrose progresses over time.

    It’s just the Mexican Coke recipe right? They are just appeasing the regime by not calling it Mexican lol
