4. Where can I learn More about the dangers of HFCS?

   Check out http://www.stophfcs.com they have a lot of great news articles on HFCS along with a forum where HFCS can be discussed - this website is obviously anti-HFCS but the information it links to is objective and relevant.

5. What’s the difference between cane sugar and high fructose corn syrup?

   Vivi Next Generation Soft Drink uses evaporated cane juice, which comes from the sugar cane plant. This natural sugar is composed of sucrose, which people have been consuming for thousands of years. High Fructose corn syrup (HFCS) on the other hand, is an artificial product that has its beginnings in corn starch. Bacterial enzymes break down the sugars to form fructose, which is then mixed with pure glucose. HFCS is a mix of the fructose and glucose, with slightly more fructose. Fructose is more readily converted to fat by the liver than other sugars - instead of giving you a natural energy boost and decreasing appetite, fructose and the products that are composed of its metabolites get stored.

   Also, we think natural evaporated cane juice tastes better than that high fructose goo that comes from a factory.

6. Where will Vivi Be available when it launches?

   We will be launching our product in the Southern California region as well as select markets in Northern California

9. What does Vivi Smart Soda taste like?

   Vivi has a very unique flavor unlike anything else on the market. This is due to our ample use of acai berry and other natural ingredients. It’s best described as a light and tangy with just the right amount of sweetness. Hints of pomegranate and blueberry give the drink a rich and refreshing flavor. Vivi has a mild flavor that it appeals to almost everyone - the flavor is an instant classic.

10. Is Vivi Beverages looking to hire new employees any time soon?

    Currently Vivi Beverages is run by the owners. When we launch, we’ll be looking for salespeople who are willing to work on commission.

12. What’s bad about High Fructose Corn Syrup

    HFCS is an invention of the late 20th century and it’s only been in wide use for a few decades. We haven’t conducted extensive studies to show that HFCS is as safe as other sugars. Recent studies are cause for alarm, some show that fructose is converted to fat more than other sugars, others are showing a possible link between HFCS and diabetes more than other sugars.

    In short, we need to know more about HFCS - unfortunately it’s already in many foods.
