Ah. But the organic stuff doesn't have HFCS. And it is good. My wife went (and is still) on an anti HFCS kick, and I happily went along. Maybe it's the BGH. Though the organic stuff doesn't have that either.
And it does seem to work for me. Though, it's only this year that I've really ridden hard enough to worry about and take seriously recovery nutrition. So that I'm getting anything at all after hard efforts may have something to do with it.
