What kind of sugar does soda contain?

Soda typically contains high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) as its primary sweetener.

Here's why:

* Cost-effectiveness: HFCS is cheaper to produce than other sweeteners like sugar.

* Solubility: HFCS dissolves easily in liquids, making it ideal for beverages.

* Sweetness: HFCS provides a similar sweetness to sugar.

However, some sodas may also contain other sugars, such as:

* Sugar: Some sodas use regular sugar as a sweetener, especially those marketed as "natural" or "organic."

* Sucralose: This artificial sweetener is often found in diet sodas.

* Aspartame: Another artificial sweetener used in diet sodas.

The specific type of sugar in a soda can vary depending on the brand and the product. Always check the ingredient list on the label to see exactly what's in your drink.
