Real sugar for the Jews, and HFC's for the Goys.

@stereotomy Companies will do what makes money, and you're free to buy Passover Coke as well. If it's just Passover, then Jews are also drinking HFC most of the time. Anyway, all sugary drinks are poison.

If you want a bigger "conspiracy", note that most factory food is marked with a U in a circle, meaning the company has paid the Union of Orthodox Rabbis to certify that the food is kosher. And there are smaller competing kosher certification groups with other symbols.

There's not much benefit to being a Jew in America, except for good business networking opportunities at synagogues.

On the other hand, Jews in Israel benefit a lot at the expense of US taxpayers from the influence of AIPAC. I think that lobbying Congress on behalf of any foreign country should not be allowed, and dual passports should be banned. You're either American or you're not. China does not allow dual passports to avoid that conflict of loyalties.

90% agree with this. But, what if they are allies? My former boss has dual US and Italian citizenship (born here). He plans to send his kids to college in Italy for free outside of lodging and flights. That's a massive savings. He's Italian but he's American first. If you can take advantage of loop holes I'd say do it. 2 kids, 8 years of tuition for free. Most people would try to take advantage of that.

He planned to stay here the last time I talked to him, but he has no loyalty to Italy. Just wants free school for his kids. I hate the guy, but it's kind of smart. I kind of hope his kids stay there permanently because if his offspring are like him I don't want them in this country. Dude was a whacko.

Ironic from the man whole took nature's wholesome organic plums from his backyard and converted them into alcoholic swill via yeast piss. Added sugar to it, to boot. Besides, Sundrop is the exemption to the "all sugary drinks are poison."

Fermented sugar is much healthier though. Pretty much everything fermented is good for you. Also if you run all day and readily deplete your glycogen store you can have quite a lot of sugar.

Me likem kombucha. Synergy is my fave.

Pretty soon it will all be alcohol instead of sugar! There are some health benefits to alcohol in moderation, but I don't think there are any to sugar.

Why would Sundrop be any better?

I have a Chinese friend who once told me his investment strategy of owning Coke stock and stock in dialysis centers. That way he makes profits both from causing diabetes and from treating it!

Because I like to drink it. Same logic as the claim of the health benefits of alcohol in moderation by folks who like to get a buzz on. Alcohol in moderation is metabolized by the liver, but even that is toxic process. Any amount that gets past the liver can damage every organ in the body. The medical press overwhelmingly pushes that there is no safe level of alcohol consumption, but you may find a puff piece on the Today Show types claiming that alcohol may have something like heart health benefits.
