I've just looked up the ingredients on my bottle of Rose's Lime Cordial and they are as follows:

Lime juice from concentrate
Sugar
Citric Acid
Flavourings
Preservative as stated in previous post
Colour Beta Carotene 142

No mention of high fructose corn syrup on the label so unless you look it up. I wonder how many other sugary squashes carry this ingredient?

I tend to drink it very dilute anyway.

The other post had the US ingredients not the ingredients here. So you still don't know.

I am still waiting to see your picture to show us lesser mortals what sort of results you can expect if we follow your advice and not what we are doing and succeeding at.

I seem to remember posting an article about before and after photos and how they were faked up so not much point. besides I havent got any. If you like I can show you the labels i9n my trousers but that isnt exactly strong evidence either.
What you might note is that i only print nutritional stuff that can be evidenced and it can be evidenced very easily indeed that calories in vs calories out is flawed to the extreme as is any diet that revolves around calorie counting.

Your point that you drink it diluted is valid and probably a little of what you fancy does you good anyway. What I have found interesting is that on the internet I have found 3 different ingredients lists for roses / schweppes lime cordial. The one you quoted, the US one and another with aspartame.
As I live pretty near tescos I just went and had a look. They have their own and roses. The roses one was as your list. But the tesco one proudly boasted 30% lime juice which makes the 5% roses look weak but then the tesco one also said no added sugar whilst not really mentioning apart from small print teh Aspartame and acesulfameK. 2 really nasty sweeteners.
The next question is : Is there really that much difference in amount of fructose in sugar as compared to HFCS? I will leave people to do their own research and probably shock themselves on that one.

If it says sugar on the label, then is it sugar or is it high fructose corn syrup under the name of sugar?

A valid point there. Thanks for researching it. I drink it so dilute that its mainly water and ice cubes with just a faint taste of lime and it is a lovely drink.

Did I imagine watching on this show or one of the other episodes about the changes to female body shape since the 50s? I am sure I saw something about waist size increasing and hip size decreasing, and part of that was due to changes in diets. I was half watching it at the time, but wanted to re-watch it and explore in more detail exactly which changes might be responsible - but now I cant find the clip :mad:.

I've got some 1940s dress patterns - size 16, measurements:
bust - 34
waist - 28
hips - 37.

Modern dress pattern - size 16:
bust - 38
waist - 30
hips - 40.

i have to admit I often have a lime cordial and soda after sport. mainly coz pub only charges 50p for it. never checked what brand cordial it is though.
Besides glucose is cited as an essential glyconutrient so as it is a small amount who cares.

That modern size waist must be a typo? My waist is 29 and I'm in a size 6-8?
