There seems to be a few points about this sugar controversy that
are being overlooked:

In cases where corn syrup or other non-sucrose sweeteners are being
labeled as sugar, Coke is probably not trying to defraud the public.
They clearly are trying to change their packaging to read "and/OR sucrose".
The bottlers (especially on the green bottles) are undoubtably trying
to use up their supplies of caps which say "sugar" only.

Those individuals who cannot consume corn products for medical reasons
could probably sue Coke for mislabeled product if they have some
medical reaction to a bottle of Coke, but WHY would they want to
risk their health in order to sue a company?  The people I know with
this problem would just rather know what's in the bottle so they can
avoid dangerous products.

I simply don't like the taste of Coke w/HFCS and won't buy it. (Classic or
otherwise)
