¡AZUCAR!

At just over $11 for a a six-pack, it did seem a bit pricey but to be able to sit back and enjoy a Dr. Pepper made with real cane sugar (just like in the old days), it was totally worth it. I loved the old time packaging as well.

(you can purchase Dr. Pepper original recipe here)

I've found in my recent trips to the grocery store that more products seem to be going back to sugar after a 25 + year relationship with High-Fructose Corn Syrup. There has been a back lash against this product and with reason. It is pretty much accepted that the ever increasing obesity and diabetes rates in this country can be attributed to the ingredient.

The corn lobby recently began to battle back against this thinking with commercials touting that "in moderation, products with High-Fructose Corn Syrup are safe and healthy for you."

In moderation???? How can that be taken seriously when it's in pretty much everything?
