Most juices are made from non-GMO fruit (avoid papaya though, as it could be the Hawaiian GMO variety), but the prevalence of corn-based sweeteners — e.g. high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS)—in fruit juices is cause for concern. Many sodas are primarily comprised of water and corn syrup. Look for 100 percent juice blends. Some brands are now moving away from HFCS to sugar, but unless it is pure cane sugar, it will include sugar from GM sugar beets. The sweetener aspartame is derived from GM microorganisms. It is also referred to as NutraSweet and Equal and is found in over 6,000 products, including diet drinks and diet sodas.
