[QUOTE="Winnie53, post: 2074284, member: 160246"] Brunneria thanks for the link. It makes sense that the UK doesn't primarily use corn. I was curious as to what your sweetner in the UK is made from.

[URL]https://www.eufic.org/en/food-production/article/glucose-fructose-syrup-how-is-it-produced-infographic[/URL] It appears that your sweetner is made from the starches of a variety of crops: wheat, maize, and potato. What the others are wasn't stated. From what I've read, soda that isn't sugar-free can by used to treat hypos. That surprised me. Reading what everyone uses is so interesting. This is good information. Thank you. :) [/QUOTE]
