Actually, there may be some good news in sight soon for fans of cane sugared Coke: if in fact the US starts producing ethanol in greater quanities, the corn needed to produce the ethanol would probably supercede the corn used for high fructose corn syrup, which means then that the price of cane/beet sugar might become as cheap or more cheap than using corn.
Tough choice: fuel for my car v. better tasting Coke? hmmm.![]()
P.S. Apparently the reason why Coke decided to produce kosher Coke is because some high powered rabbi got on Coke's case because corn is not kosher. However, even the kosher Coke doesn't use cane sugar; apparently it uses sucralose, which is a cane sugar derivative but not cane sugar. Oooh...that brings up another interesting point: if corn isn't kosher and if ethanol is produced from corn, wouldn't conservative Jews be unable to buy hybrid cars?
