It IS better. Plus the glass is chemically neutral, agreed that despite manufacturers claims to the contrary, plastics are not wise containers for acidic foods.That being said........you have it all wrong my brainbaked friend. Glucose is the simple form of sugar, it's what get metabolized in cells. All other sugars and their "cousins" long chain starches, must be broken down in digestion before they are of any use to the human body. Glucose doesn't taste terribly sweet. Sucrose (basic table sugar from cane or beets) takes that prize, followed by fructose (naturally occurring fruit sugar). So additional HFCS is needed to make an equally sweet beverage compared to sugar. The process to mke HFCS involves enzymes to break down plain ols cornstarch to extract fructose from it. Both sucrose and fructose are chains of glucose, sometimes referred to as short-chain starches. |
