Jones Soda Switches to Pure Cane Sugar
Jones Soda---BAD COMPANY...
HFCS high fructose corn syrup is responsible for a dangerous epidemic of obesity and diabetes. People under the age of 45 are “children of the corn.” Like Stephen King's thriller, they are reaping the consequences...
FROM WIKI:
Jones Soda announced that the company will launch its 12 ounce canned soda (January 2007) sweetened with pure cane sugar instead of high-fructose corn syrup. The brand will be called Jones Pure Cane Soda and will be sold as a 12 ounce can package. As of March 2007, a 12 ounce bottle of Jones Pure Cane Soda Root Beer lists in its ingredients "inverted cane sugar", which seems to mean the same thing as inverted sugar syrup, which, like HFCS, is a mixture of fructose and glucose.
BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP! SORRY EVIL CORPORATE AMERICA! I HAVE TO CALL YOU ON THIS BS!! I don't get involved in thinking that corporations are EVIL but THIS IS..they know EXACTLY what they are doing..marketing this to people who DONT KNOW...what INVERTED CANE SUGAR IS....some people ONLY buy SODA WITHOUT HFCS LIKE ME!
So....Was at the store last night..was buying some REAL CANE root beer from Goose Island RB company(which is YUMMMY)...saw the Jones "neat" packaging that said "REAL CANE SODA"...wow..I said..almost bought a case...picked up a bottle and read more..."INVERTED CANE SUGAR"...WOW WAS I PISSSSED! That is PURE EVIL! I will NEVER BUY JONES SODA NOW!...First because they LIE...Second because its made with the SAME CRAP AS HFCS!

Jones Soda Switches to Pure Cane Sugar
I know this article is old but I wanted to input. I just started drinking Jones and it tastes WAY better. Especially the cream soda, which I do not like usually. I did some research and it does appear that it's healthier than normal soda, but I can certainly say that IMO it has a huge taste difference for the better.

"BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP! SORRY EVIL CORPORATE AMERICA! I HAVE TO CALL YOU ON THIS BS!! I don't get involved in thinking that corporations are EVIL but THIS IS..."
kinda sounds like you DO get involved in thinking corporations are evil.
SE forums are usually pretty low-key and intelligent, it kind of sucks to start seeing excessive caps and crap like that around here.
Jones Soda Switches to Pure Cane Sugar
I though this blog explained the difference of Inverted Cane Sugar vs. HFCS for Jones...

It says:::
Your post compared HFCS with pure cane sugar, but I think there was still confusion about the differences. HFCS is produced from pure corn syrup by an enzymatic process which converts some of the glucose molecules that corn plants produce (their form of sugar) into fructose molecules (a different form of sugar).
Most HFCS’s are actually a mixture of pure corn syrup (100% glucose) and HFCS, and the percentages of each vary depending on the desired use of the mixture. Sugar cane plants produce a different kind of sugar than corn does, namely sucrose. The difference is that glucose is a single 6-carbon ring, while sucrose is actually made up of two rings, one 6-carbon ring and one 5-carbon ring.
Your explanation of “inverted cane sugar” is on the money, and so your question about whether inverted cane sugar is better than HFCS is a valid one. The truth is, both fructose (the 5-carbon sugar) and glucose (the 6-carbon sugar) are cyclic hydrocarbons, and as a result, your body breaks them down in similar processes.
However, the sugar molecules that the human body manufactures for energy by its own processes (from things like the carbs we eat) are always glucose. Therefore, in humans, the metabolic path that breaks down glucose is more efficient than the one that breaks down fructose. Also, if I had to venture a guess, the Jones Soda people may have a few environmentally friendly types in their organization who understand that our addiction to all things corn is not healthy for our bodies, our economy, or our environment
