Talk:Golden syrup

I am under the assumption that there are more companies making sugar in the UK than the two mentioned, especially because a third one was listed as existing in Ireland. Because of this I changed the statement "The other sugar company" to "Another sugar company". If I'm mistaken and there really are only two companies in the entire country, please change it and leave me a note on my talk page.

I'm sorry? You're under the impression there are more than two companies making sugar in the UK because one was listed as existing in a neighbouring country? According to DEFRA (who should know) there are two manufacturers of sugar in the UK [1]. So I believe you are mistaken. Average Earthman 14:35, 28 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The section on Germany is inaccurate. Zuckerrübensirup, also called Rübenkraut, is not the same as golden syrup for the simple reason that it is dark brown in colour. It also tastes quite different. 88.107.209.183 22:59, 4 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree - they are very different. Zuckerrübensirup is darker, made of sugar beet, and has a very different taste. Saluton 00:56, 11 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Any chance on getting nutritional information on this item? I know there's a whole lot of debate on the detrimental effects of corn syrup in popular foods, and there's a comparison between golden and corn syrup drawn in the article. I expected to see a similar pro/con golden syrup debate on this page. --Wikid00d (talk) 07:02, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
