What kind of sugar is in soft drinks like Pepsi or Coca-cola or Sprite?

Answer 1

Usually High Fructose Corn syrup. Which, by the way, is worse for you than sugar.

Answer 2

High Fructose Corn Syrup - group of corn syrups which have undergone enzymatic processing in order to increase their fructose content and are then mixed with pure corn syrup. They are commonly used in packaged foods: breakfast cereals, soft drinks, sports drinks. Remember natural cane sugar is almost 100% sucrose, The problem is fructose turns directly to fat during digestion and most natural sugars don't contain more fructose then sucrose. So HFCS has been blamed for the huge obesity issues in the US, especially with young children.

So, use Natural cane or brown sugar and don't eat packaged foods

Answer 3

Lancenigo di Villorba (TV), Italy

SUCROSE.
It is the well-known "table's sugar".
It belong not to simple sugar, in effect it is not a reducing stuff.
Medium concentrations copper ion's (e.g Barfoed test) in aqueous media react not with sucrose, unless you execute it in a long warm conditions.
So, sucrose reacts not with copper ions, it takes part to "hydrolysis" and form glucose and fructose. The latters constitute sucrose's molecule. Fructose reacts very fast with copper ions, similarly glucose do.

I hope this helps you.
