Effective January 1st, 2007, Jones Soda Company took their canned sodas and pitched the high fructose crap syrup and began using pure cane sugar. Come mid 2007, they'll begin using the pure cane sugar in their bottled sodas as well.
Jones Soda is well known for their common soda flavors such as Cherry, Root Beer, and Cream Soda, but is also infamous for oddball soda flavors such as Turkey and Gravy, Split Pea Soup, and Antacid Flavored Soda.
This change is not necessarily being made because it is healthier and better for the environment. but because there are consumers out there that really have a heavy belief that it is. More than anything, this is a way to sell more product. It's basically to better the company, but is at the same time pleasing the consumer.
In any sort of large amount, neither sugar nor corn syrup is actually healthy for a human, and saying that one is better is basically just a contradictory comment. The consumer, however, is more enthralled to but something that is natural, rather than something that they know has been modified.
You can find this information, and information about Jones Soda in general at the following websites:
Well look at that. Jones just got some free publicity. Yay Jones!

jones soda is awesome joe, dont ya think? It is great that they are going to start using pure cane sugar instead of syrup. Most people would rather have natural sugar than modified, even better for the environment.
I too love Jones soda. It should be interesting to see how the price/flavor changes, if at all.
