I've noticed that Classic Coke now uses high fructose corn sweeteners.
As far as i remember, old Coke used sugar.  The new old coke seems to
taste more of corn syrup than the old old coke.

There was an article in Science News a month or so ago describing some
rather interesting experiments using high-fructose corn sweeteners.  Seems
they were feeding pigs this junk to see how good for pigs it was.  They had
to call off the experiment prematurely, as all the test group developed
heart problems.  Now, pigs are used in these experiments because a pig's
digestive system is remarkably close to a humans.

Anyway, has any pop manufacturer stopped using high-fructose corn sweeteners
as a result of this experiment?
