Message: <blockquote data-quote="andcol" data-source="post: 1106376" data-attributes="member: 96315">I would just like to point out that lucozade is slightly different from other sugar filled drinks.  Lucozade uses Glucose Syrup.  Whereas the others use sucrose which is a mix of fructose and glucose so you do not actually know how much insulin soaking glucose you have had.  fructose is processed by the body and does not require insulin.This does put L in a slightly different category.  Should the manufacturer be exempt the charge (not a tax) no as they are greedy corporations anyway.  Will they pass it on?  I doubt it as a direct price increase as it is so small.  Will they make the bottle size smaller to compensate? I expect so by about 10% so they can rip us all off more.Will I buy it when I could eat liquorice instead? Nope</blockquote>
