jalebi_bhai Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 What about when you drink Indian sodas? I never faced that problem with sodas until I moved to the US.......so I'm pretty sure it is the HFCS......in California, many shops tend to sell Mexican sodas that come in glass bottles.......these use cane sugar instead of HFCS and I face no issues while drinking them.......

Don't drink more than 1.3 bottles of Mexican coke. You may start coughing :-)!!

Hmmm.......I've read that cane sugar when processed turns into sucrose.......whereas HFCS turns into a fructose-glucose combo.......in terms of chemical composition........are they equally bad? PS: I drink around 1 bottle a month.......

PS: I drink around 1 bottle a month....... Bhai, here are some useful details: Sucrose is a "double-sugar." It is made by combining one glucose and one fructose. Thus it is a 50-50 mixture of glucose and fructose. In soda and in your stomach (both are acidic), this "double-sugar" is broken down into equal parts of glucose and fructose. So, if you drink 100 g of sucrose, you are essentially consuming 50 g of glucose + 50 g fructose. So, the Mexican soda you drink is giving you equal glucose + fructose. HFCS is a 55% - 45% mixture of fructose and glucose. So, if you drank 100 g of corn syrup, you are essentially eating 45 g glucose + 55 g of fructose. So, the American soda is giving you a slightly higher amount of fructose. Regardless, if you have any issues with fructose, it will show up as digestive system symptoms (fructose intolerance). Not as a cough. So, I don't really know what to say about your observations and symptoms.
