High Fructose Corn Syrup is a sugar. It is much sweeter than sugar so it takes less in each can to give the soda its sweetness. Using less per serving makes it more attractive to bottlers and HFS is not subject to the whims of the world sugar markets.

If you remember when Coke brought out New Coke and then brought "old" Coke back as Coke Classic? The new "old" Coke used sugar and/or HFS and some of us thought it did not taste the same. True "old" Coke only used sugar, never HFS. There are still some places, like Mexico, where you can still buy a Coke made with sugar and not HFS.
If you look at just about any bottle of anything in the AM PM it contains HFS. Not just sodas but sports drinks, teas, even iced coffee has it. And lots of unneeded calories.

yeah, that is what I have started drinking....Diet Berries and Cream and Diet Cherry Vanilla are the best, but the regular Diet Dr. Pepper is really good too...none of them have that crappy diet taste to them that drinks like diet coke have

yay for more government control over our personal lives..

the link to all those additives made me angry with producers of drinks.
How can they poison like that?

Jesus christ, it is fucking soda. It is not supposed to be healthy. It is a quick energy drink and that is it. If you do not like it do not drink it. Go squeeze some fruits or drink water.

Additives are everywhere. They are found in abundance in foods and all sorts of other items. Lets face it everything seems to cause some sort of health issues in someone some place at some time. So get the fuck over it. Oddly we are all living longer anyways.

Hell every other week something is bound to eventually kill us, cause cancer, make you projectile diahrea or whatever. To many vitamins or supplements seems to cause bad results, not enough causes bad results. Eating to much of anything is bad. We all fucking get it.

Sadly, many folks do not understand moderation though.
Instant gratification vs. deferred

Stupid, stupid move.

So they make all the kids who understand and abide by moderation...do without a soft drink at school.

Fucking brilliant logic.

As if soft drinks are the root evil behind the nation's obesity.

Why don't they try something really innovative - like making phys. ed mandatory until the last year of high school.

The idiots are once again running the asylum.

50........

i do not like it and i do not drink it.
But that is only because of the taste and because of the stomachache.
Producers do not say it is healthy that's right. But they also do not declare that it is so harmful and we all have to wait untill some investigations will be done. :(

I should add that I agree, that because a few can't control themselves doesn't mean more unnecessary legislation should be created. The government is too big for its britches as it is.

I wonder how Coca Cola and others sighed this contract of not vending the sode in schools, because those companies are so huge and they really loose a part of the market. I thought that those companies never give up and use any possibility to be on top.

Oh ya and the crap in diet soda is soooooo much better...

They own diet cola's, they own fruit drinks, they own bottled waters...

A! If that is so, then we only remain to squeeze the fruits and drink.

They should have done that years ago

that's good to hear, now they have to stop selling cheeseburgers and pizzas inside of schools too

And fries, tator tots, sloppy joes, corn dogs, hot dogs, tacos, burritos, chips, pastries, pudding, ice cream, nachos, and chicken nuggets.

If we are gunna cut out "some" sugar lets also target fats, sodium, and other bad stuff.

Sorry to rock the boat for all you who think this is a great idea, but this is fucking stupid.

First of all, I as a fat ass, know that there is no real difference health-wise between diet soda and regular except that the diet soda tastes like shit. So now HS kids have a diet soda with thier 2000 calorie mystery meat patty. Second, these kids have the right to drink whatever the fuck they want as far as I am concerned. And they'll suffer the consequences later on down the road. Just like smoking. Let'em smoke.

And for that matter, that ought to pull all of the vending machines out of the schools and then close the cafeteria, too. Schools never should have gotten into the business of providing lunch anyway. Not only is it unprofitable (which means that we the people end up subsidizing it through taxes -- and some people get free lunches and dont pay taxes... so looky there) but its stupid as well. God forbid kids actually learn how to make a sandwhich and take it to school with them. Wouldnt that be horrible?

And if you parents are so worried about what your kids eat and drink at school, do all of us a favor and take your kids the fuck out of school and home school them. They arent learning anything anyway and you, they and society will all be better off if you teach them what they really need to know instead of focusing on the bullshit they do in school these days.

I swear, this country is becoming a pussbucket full of pussys who arent good for shit.

OK, I am stepping down now...
