Comment on Salt is very salty. Sugar is not that sweet.

Fructose, glucose, and sucrose are the same whether you refine them or not. If you’re getting enough fiber and vitamins in your diet, which you should doing either way, both are processed the same. I’d like to see your source. All refining does is strip the natural sources of the river and other nutrients that come with those sugars, which again, you should be getting either way. The whole “natural sugar good, refined bad” thing is a total myth made up to make a larger market for apples and oranges than would exist otherwise, as any dietician could tell you. If you’re getting balanced fiber and nutrients in your diet, the sugar source does not matter. It’s the exact same molecules.

Maybe things are different where you’re from but soft drinks aren’t known for their fiber or vitamin content here. I’m not going to waste my time arguing with someone who isn’t going to bother using logic. Have a good day.

They said “in your diet”, not “in your drink”.

Good lord, people really feel like arguing today. I said I bought a coke and drank it, I did not say I ate a meal.
