Advice: None Of The Above

I'm hoping the more experienced chemists can weigh in with their thoughts and a clearer notion of the metabolic effects at play, here. All I can conclude right now is that I should switch to a different soda to feed my rats

How about some plain ole logic from the alternatively educated ole feller?

Use Stevia, an herbal leaf extract having 300 times the sweetening power of corn syrup and fructose. It has been used in SA for centuries. It's not dental corrosive and good for diabetics.

Alleged side effects are debatable, but likely propagated by the huge sugar industry in the US.

We use it regularly and enjoy the sweetness from it in our foods ever as much as sugar. It's the sinless sweet.

Xylitol would be 2nd choice before conventional sugars since it's suppose to be less harmful to diabetics than them.

Thanks guys, really, but I'm looking for science here, not recipes.

OK, but in your OP you said this. "One of my goals as I study biochemistry is to be able to apply it to my life, and I've been left utterly mystified by the controversy about high-fructose corn syrup."

I took that to mean you wanted information as to what would make your life more healthy and disease free.
