ardillacid Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 [quote name='Blind' timestamp='1304441359' post='2236371'] well the throwback is real cane sugar so if your going to drink one the real sugar is better for your body since you can break real sugars down. [/quote] Real sugar? Care to link me to an article demonstrating that the human body can't break down corn syrup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blind Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Yes your body can break down corn syrup. High fructose corn syrup is more processed and takes 3 times longer to digest. Over time, your body loses the ability to make enough sugar-digesting enzymes to meet the demand, and sugar sensitivity develops. So eating high fructose corn syrup uses 3 times as many as these enzymes. Here are the ingredients of the 2 soda's... Mountian Dew Ingredients: CARBONATED WATER, HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP, CONCENTRATED ORANGE JUICE, CITRIC ACID, NATURAL FLAVORS, SODIUM BENZOATE (PRESERVES FRESHNESS), CAFFEINE, SODIUM CITRATE, ERYTHORBIC ACID (PRESERVES FRESHNESS), GUM ARABIC, CALCIUM DISODIUM EDTA (TO PROTECT FLAVOR), BROMINATED VEGETABLE OIL, YELLOW 5 Mountian Dew Throwback Ingredients: CARBONATED WATER, SUGAR, ORANGE JUICE CONCENTRATE, CITRIC ACID, NATURAL FLAVOR, SODIUM BENZOATE (PRESERVES FRESHNESS), CAFFEINE, SODIUM CITRATE, GUM ARABIC, ERYTHORBIC ACID (PRESERVES FRESHNESS), CALCIUM DISODIUM EDTA (TO PROTECT FLAVOR), BROMINATED VEGETABLE OIL, YELLOW 5 from [url="http://pepsiproductfacts.com/infobyproduct.php"]http://pepsiproductfacts.com/infobyproduct.php[/url] The key is High Fructose Corn Syrup. Here are a few reasons why you should avoid it. 1. May Cause Diabetes too much sugar can actually cause diabetes. while high fructose corn syrup is simply an alternative to sugar, it is not natural. 2. May Make You Obese It takes your body up to three times as long to digest and break down high fructose corn syrup as it does to digest and break down natural sugar. 3. Can Cause High Blood Pressure As you gain weight, you're going to be putting more strain on your heart and your circulatory system. As a result, high fructose corn syrup can cause your blood pressure to skyrocket. So try to avoid it all together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
