Everyone is Wrong About Mexican Coke (Even Johnny Harris)

Check out Pan Pals on PBS Food:    • PAKISTANI Vs. CHINESE Noodles! | Pan ...  

A 2011 paper found that Mexican Coke – which is supposed to be sweetened with cane sugar – contained no cane sugar. Instead, the paper found plenty of glucose and fructose: the main ingredients in high fructose corn syrup. Could Coke be lying to us all? Or is there another, even stranger explanation?

Correction: 0:51 Cu2O is copper(I) oxide, not copper(II) oxide
