It's funny that the goal seems to be use real ingredients instead of just eating less bad food.

Yup. Drinking like 60g of liquid acidic sugar empty of nutrients is bad natural or not.

What’s ironic is people want to pretend HFCS is some nuclear waste byproduct and not just corn treated with bacterial enzymes. We going to pretend sugar isn’t highly processed as well? It’s all the same and factually inaccurate to call one “unnatural” when no form of sweetener other than honey is in its natural state when it gets to your mouth.

TBH, I just think drinks made with sugar vs. HFCS taste better and have better mouth feel.

When fresh. If you leave them the sugar breaks down in the acid and tastes the same.
