> Same for American coke w/ Cane Sugar instead of actual sugar.

American Coke is sweetened with Corn Syrup. Maybe it's just me being a dumb American probably fooled by some green washing but isn't Cane Sugar better? What's "actual sugar" in the EU?

no opinion on the rest, but at least in western europe, "normal" white sugar derives from sugar beets.

Yeah, beet sugar is the “standard” to me. That said I meant to say “high fructose corn syrup” in my original post.

Fun fact: high fructose corn syrup has almost the same sugar content as honey.
