European and Japanese Coke is still made with real sugar. Not Fructose. High Fructose Corn Syrup, to be precise.
It is better than our coke made with that HFCS crap.
It's all about the precursor ingredients.

FORM of sugar. It is possible to be fructose intolerant, just as LACTOSE is a form of sugar and metabolizes differently in the body.

BTW, there is a whole political issue behind the change from Sugar (which we used to import from Mexico) to the use of HFCS, which is a byproduct of Corn Processing. MOST corn grown in the US is used for Animal Feed.

So your carbon chains look a little different. So what?

Dang, man, some people take this biology crap out to be much more difficult than it is. LACTOSE is a form of SUGAR and METABOLIZES differently in the body.

Whatever. Under the right circumstances, anything is tolerable.

Tell that to someone who is fructose / lactose intolerant.
It does taste different to me. I brought some home from the UK this year and held a blind taste test. The testers preferred the one with sugar. 4-2.
