Love to Eat| In a new study published in the journal Obesity, many soda brands contained more fructose levels than reported on the label. Americans drink on average over 50 gallons of soda a year, or the equivalent of 34 pounds of sugar.

Fructose is sweeter than glucose and is considered to be more damaging. According to the Corn Refiners Association, there are two ‘acceptable’ formulations for sugar. One formulation is 55 percent fructose and 45 percent glucose and the other contains 42 percent fructose and 58 percent glucose.
