The one I like are the sodas that tout "made with real sugar" as if that's better for you than HF syrup.

Turns out the phosphoric acid breaks down the sucrose within a matter of months on the shelf.

  • Given soda ph around 2.5, temperature 25C, phosphoric acid 0.05% and sucrose 10% gives a half life around 4 years. Or only 7% over 6 months.
