Because fructose is better
Glucose isomerase is used in the soft-drink industry to convert glucose into fructose, which is sweeter and more soluble. This process, known as isomerization, helps create high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS), a common sweetener in soft drinks. By using glucose isomerase, manufacturers can optimize sweetness, texture, and flavor in their products.
Almost all soft drinks in the United States use high fructose corn syrup because domestic sugar subsidies make sugar more expensive than corn syrup.
High fructose corn syrup is used in soft drinks primarily for its sweetening properties. It is a highly concentrated sweetener that is less expensive than traditional sugar, making it a cost-effective ingredient for mass production of beverages. Additionally, high fructose corn syrup helps to provide a consistent flavor profile and texture to soft drinks, ensuring a uniform product for consumers.
Most soft drinks use high fructose corn syrup. Only a few use cane sugar.

Soft drinks being bad for you is a very popular myth, they are actually no worse than other drinks like apple juice. As with everything it is the amount consumed that makes the difference. That being said, high fructose corn syrup used in soft drinks is not as healthy as the natural sugars in juices.
Candy / soft drinks / anything sweet... but you probably knew that.
No Glucose is an example of a simple sugar.
Self determination. Have water instead.
it is more healthy
Apparently it does. The citric acid in the soft drinks burn up the rust and eliminates it and instead of sticking to the metal it sticks to the acid or the citric acid.
Soft drinks are pure sugar, and have no nutritional value. They are empty calories and not good for you at all. In addition, the sugar they contain is in the form of high fructose corn syrup, which has an even greater impact on your insulin levels than table sugar.
