Sugar content of popular sweetened beverages based on objective laboratory analysis: focus on fructose content.
TL;DR: The sugar profile analyses detected forms of sugar that were inconsistent with what was listed on the food labels and the tendency for use of HFCS that is higher in fructose could be contributing to higher fructose consumption than would otherwise be assumed.
