I don't like drinking invert sugar. I want only sugar please. I will not buy Jones anymore.

I'm not trying to cultivate any kind of fear in saying HFCS needs GMOs to make it. Those tactics are cunning and vile and should be abhorred by everyone. I'm just saying that if you need an unnatural ingredient to produce something then you can't call the product natural. I think people don't realize what's in their food or what it takes to make the things they eat. I feel people should be able to get all the information and make an informed decision on it. The reason HFCS is in your foods is not because it's good for you or the same thing as cane sugar it's because it's cheap. It's my opinion that anything that has HFCS is cheap low grade food. I applaud Jones for taking the step to eliminate it.

I love, love, love your cherry soda, but I just found out that it has caffiene in it, and I am super sensitive to caffeine, my heart went into atrial fibrilation. I would love it if you could provide us with cherry soda without caffiene.

Here's the thing: Cane sugar comes from CANE and HFCS comes from CORN. For those with corn allergies, its doesn't really matter whether all the science in the world can prove one is chemically the same as, similar to or different from the other. Bottom line: cane is the only choice for us and we're glad Jones gives us a chance to have sodas, too!

Hey! Table sugar is sucrose.

In the stomach, sucrose breaks into its components: fructose and glucose.

Invert sugar is exactly the same thing! Fructose and glucose!

The difference is: If the stuff is already broken at the mouth, it tastes sweeter. :)

Why are you spawning fear out of the words \"genetically modified\"?

An enzyme is essentially a protein. Genetically modified or not, proteins denature into basic amino acids when they hit the highly acidic environment of your stomach. Amino acids are just simple building blocks for your body...and should not harm you!

Organic food my ass. Snake venom is a natural product & you don\'t see people ingesting it. At the same time \"natural\" remedies like St. John\'s wort, interfere with some artificial treatments that ACTUALLY prolong life.

Don\'t be scammed. Don\'t buy something just because it\'s \"natural\". You have a better head on your shoulders than that.

I have dietary fructose intolerance, so I can't handle high fructose foods. This includes fruits high in fructose, and high fructose corn syrup (I know some will argue that HFCS is the same glucose/fructose ratio as sugar, but my stomachs begs to differ). I usually stick to diet drinks, but some have such a chemical taste, I just want a "real" soft drink sometimes. I'm thrilled to be able to enjoy a regular, non-diet, great tasting soda without spending the next couple of days in pain!

Yes, once the cane sugar is in the acidic soda environment, it is inverted and broken down into glucose and fructose, so only the ratios differ from sucrose and HFCS. However, one is in liquid form and lasts longer on the shelf. Why? Because there are other chemical differences in HFCS rather than just the sugars.

In addition to my last post I have not seen where inverted sugar uses a Genetically Modified Enzyme in the process of making it. If you have information to state otherwise please speak up and post.

I've read through the first ten or so posts and didn't see anything about this. The major problem with HFCS is that to produce it you have to use a Genetically Modified Enzyme. This is the major reason why it should not be considered a natural sweetener. This is why I stay away from it. Sure the different components in the final product occur naturally but the product itself in made by an unnatural enzyme.

It\'s just this simple. THE CLOSER YOU GET TO NATURAL AND THE LESS PROCESSING DONE THE BETTER IT IS FOR YOU AND THE MORE NATURALLY YOUR BODY WILL REACT.
HCFS is HIGHLY processed while most of the other forms of true sugar are not.

In the 60's, the bottlecaps on Coke and Pepsi listed "sugar" as an ingredient--and nothing has tasted as good since. Brand loyalty and marketing strategy and chemistry tutorials aside, if ANY company will bottle a cola sweetened with sugar, I will buy it.

What all you so called chemistry majors have failed to recognize that HFCS and Inverted Sugar syrup are chemically equivalent. The major difference is the ratio of fructose to glucose in each. The fact that one comes from CANE and the other from CORN makes little difference in the highly processed, pure final product. Once invert syrup is processed with tartaric acid and heat, which breaks apart the fructose and sucrose to make it sweeter thus cheaper, it contains the same ratio of sucrose and fructose whereas HFCS is 90% fructose and 10% fructose, which is not natural and interferes with the body\'s metabolism when it is absorbed into the blood during digestion.

if other drink products can use just plain sugar in thier drinks why
does JONES have to invert thier
SUGAR?
It dosen't add up.
JUST USE sugar,leave it alone-
thats what people want to spend thier money on. A product that is a little more exspensive to make,so be it.
People dont want to buy products that are chemicaly alterd in any way.

Before you trash inverted cane sugar, learn some orgnaic chemistry. It's not a method to trick you tree hugging organic lunatics. Patrick is dead on with is comments. It's a way to convert some (not all) of the sucrose to it's geometric isomer (which exists in nature as well just not as common). Check it out here http://www.chemguide.co.uk/basicorg/isomerism/geometric.html

it' safe and natural. Think of it as a mirror image of the same molecule and you body can only break down the left-hand isomer because that's the most common form and that's the form we have enzymes for. the right hand isomer is not digested and is passed out.

Next time, put the bong down and pay attention in O-Chem.
