Seems odd they single out "Madhava" brand and don't just say agave nectar.

Looks like the way it's processed is what matters:

"Sugar is sugar. You're body can't tell the difference."

The same thing is done with coffee, wine, and other foods. This week it's bad for you, the next week it's good for what ails you, the next week it will kill you, the next week it will make you immortal....................

If it makes you feel better to consume something you feel is good for YOU, do it and fusk all the media hype.

The bottom line is that people have been consuming all these things for years and they all die, eventually.

Yea, and Patron can make even more tequila that tastes like Paul Mitchell hair products. :sick:

Seriously, there are many tequilas that are much better than Patron...Herradura is one, and there's probably many more.

Whenever I do a shot of Patron, I always have to choke back the urge to :vomit:

One more case of marketing trumping quality.

Why would you drink something you don't like?

Patron was very good stuff for a while after the marketing. I imagine some bad decisions were made and the recipe may have been changed to create a larger profit margin. Seen this happen in the past. Bigwigs think they're so smart and that everyone else is an idiot (there's a common theme) and that no one will notice.
The bottle and the gift packs are still pretty though.

I don't anymore since I had the good fortune of tasting Herradura.

"Sugar is sugar. You're body can't tell the difference."That's part of the Corn producers to con people into continuing to use High Fructose Corn Syrup, as is the rebranding of HFCS as "corn sugar." Fructose and sucrose are both sugars, but you body can tell the difference, even if your taste buds only register that both are sweet.

Feh.

Now, as someone who loved yogurt on occasion but must now avoid HFCS and/or cane sugar in large quantities whenever possible... is there any yogurt out there today that I can eat... and more importantly, like? Some of the plain stuff is, well, *ugh* but there's way too much fructose/sucrose in the various flavors.
