Basically its Pepsi but with "real" sugar rather than corn syrup frustose.


There's also Pepsi Natural: http://www.bevreview.com/2009/03/16/review-pepsi-natural/ I'm not sure what the real difference between throwback and natural is but Natural actually does taste subtly different from throwback and regular.

there's a real negligible health difference (in both ways) between sucrose and fructose.  I'd rather just drink pepsi max or diet or zero or whatever they call it now.  the one that's fake sugar.

I have to say what I always say in these threads:

Everytime I go to the market I look in the soda section for these mysterious "throwback" editions and I've yet to see them for any company.  :(  Do they only sell them at liquor stores or something??

Yes and no. I've heard they use a mixture of cane sugar and HFCS.

Less sweet. The corn syrup is sweeter.

No soda is healthy, but fructose is really so much worse for you than cane sugar is...

I've been reading some shit about high fructose corn syrup, and it's pretty clear that the corn industry is doing some pretty shady shit to keep their product as an ingredient in so many foods even though it's so much worse than sucrose.

In what way?  fructose tastes sweeter but then also has a lower glycemic index (does less damage to your pancreas per gram than sucrose).  That means it is better for diabetics or for preventing diabetes.  Some say that the fact that only your liver can process fructose may put too much strain on it but there's nothing to really prove that that's a major health danger.

personally I'd prefer for everything to just be substituted with splenda or olestra or whatever other flavor additive.  probably cheaper too.

Damn.  Wish I would have known.  I actually tasted the Throwbacks when they came out a while ago, but I wasn't a fan of either.  I would imagine the Dr. Pepper would be good though.

Also, as I just said, I have some.  I tried it, it's pretty good.  A different taste, but I can't really tell if it's better or worse.  I enjoy it, nonetheless.

i think it's just that due to gov't subsidies it's so much cheaper than sugars which i think we have tariffs on for many countries

Yeah, the corn subsidies and ethanol production can be really fucked up and do need some overhaul but fat chance of that happening.  There's too much lobbying money being thrown around to prevent that even though some things, like ethanol, have absolutely no beneficial use to society.  BTW I googled around a little after reading that article and saw this thing:

(http://www.oxha.org/knowledge/backgrounders/overweight_and_obesity.gif/image_preview)

I assume that corn syrup isn't as popular in Mexico being that a lot of the sucrose sodas are bottled there, right?  The thing is that while there is a clear correlation obesity and corn syrup consumption, there is also a clear correlation between obesity and fast food consumption, caloric intake, and lack of exercise.  Why people jump on fructose specifically when most obese people had to make a slew of other distinguished mentally-challenged diet decisions never makes sense to me.
