Never heard that before. I live in South America( Brazil), and the sugar I buy doesn't mention any vit. A on the ingredient list( can they put an ingredient like that without mentioning it?). Perhaps other south amercian countries do it?Whether you want vitamin A or not, rumor has it they fortify their sugar with vitamin A in South America and Mexico, FYI
Monkey see monkey do.
Aping US policy of taxing sugary drinks.
Coke is forced to find cheaper sources of sweetness other than cane sugar.
Demand for Coke is very price-elastic. Coke can't just raise prices because of the tax. It has to find a way to lower cost. The only way is to sub cane sugar with cheaper HFCS. This way, it can minimize price increases to hold on to demand.
In the Philippines, we also aped US policy on taxing sugary drinks. But to protect local sugar growers, we also imposed a higher tax on HFCS than cane sugar.
The result? Coke added sucralose to the previously pure cane sugar regular Coke. Just to minimize price increase from increased taxation.
In effect, this made Coke even less healthy to drink. I'd prefer Mexican Coke over Philippine Coke.
Thank you US - for setting a trend on taxing sugary drinks, and causing the world to lose Original Coke.
US tax policy screws not only Gringos, but also Pepe and Juan.
Considering how acidic coke is, I wonder if they used cane sugar, but it dissociated into glucose and fructose due to said acidity.
LOOK AT BOTTOM OF PACKAGE , WERE IT MAY SHOW RDA% 15. I WOULD BUY ORGANIC AND CHECK THE PACKAGE VERY WELL. GRANT GENEREUX FOUND A PACKAGE OF SUGAR FROM MEXICO NOTING 15% RDA FOR VIT A.Never heard that before. I live in South America( Brazil), and the sugar I buy doesn't mention any vit. A on the ingredient list( can they put an ingredient like that without mentioning it?). Perhaps other south amercian countries do it?
I think the glass bottle is more important than the sugar v corn syrup debate. The cans and plastic bottles are estrogenic. Hypothetically, if I had to choose between sucrose flavored soda in a can or corn syrup flavored soda in a glass bottle I would choose the latter every time. It just so happens you get the best of both worlds with Mexican coke (or do you!?!?).

Yeah maybe, I can't really say for sure. My view on it is, if we do everything we can to avoid all the endocrine disrupters in our food we still won't avoid all of them. So if it's something we don't even attempt to limit our exposure to them is overwhelming. So I try to do my part in avoiding them to the best of my ability. I.E drinking out of glass, eating out of glass, cooking in stainless steel or ceramic, very good water filters, etc.I think the plastic/estrogen connection is overblown when we look at the bigger picture, I have no proof for that, but the amounts of hormones circulating in the body are of such a bigger magnitude in terms of concentration than the potential plastic leaching from a bottle.
