Mexican Coke and Pepsi Throwback


How we long for those good old days when cola was still healthy. Really? All I remember was being warned that sugary sodas were bad for my teeth. Sugar has long been replaced by high fructose corn syrup as the sweetener of choice in many products. But high fructose corn syrup is possibly worse than sugar. Not only is it just as bad for teeth and just as likely to cause diabetes. It is also linked to obesity and other diseases.

Costco has had success selling Coca Cola imported from Mexico where bottlers use cane sugar instead of corn syrup. So much success that Pepsi has now responded by launching Pepsi Throwback, made with real sugar. Oh, those good old days... Fijn dat lekker ook gezond kan zijn.
