High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) was introduced back in the 1970’s and quickly filled the demand within the soft drink industry. Sodas depended heavily on the sugar cane as a natural sweetener; unfortunately it was unstable and volatile.

On the contrary cow’s milk was not consumed in such quantities such early in human history. In reality it was not until later that northern Europeans, South Asians and herding populations in the Middle East, Arabian Peninsula and sub-Saharan Africa started drinking cow’s milk because of accessibility. Shortly after these men and women began drinking milk people began to drink more milk and it evolved into being a normal food staple for people (as well as other dairy bi-products such as butter). As early as 1742, Boston,
