“Pepsi gets aggressive on cutting sugar”

Pepsi says it's getting serious about cutting sugar from its drinks Pepsi says it's getting serious about cutting sugar from its drinks. The global food giant said on Monday that two-thirds of its single serving drinks will have 100 or fewer calories by 2025 as it cuts back on sugar. Currently, less than 40% of its drinks have 100 calories or fewer. PepsiCo which also owns brands including Gatorade and Tropicana -- said the change was driven by shifting consumer needs and new dietary guidelines from the World Health Organization. Many customers have tapered their intake of high-sugar, high-calorie soft drinks from Pepsi due to worries about sugar consumption. But at the same time, diet beverages have also been falling out of favor as consumers worry about chemicals in their drinks. Both Pepsi and Coke have been trying to adapt to changing consumer tastes. "The company will continue to refine its food and beverage choices to meet changing consumer needs by reducing added sugars, saturated fat and sodium levels in its product portfolio," Pepsi said in a statement.

The car was revealed to the public for the first time on September 29 at the Paris Motor Show, but it actually sold out in July -- despite its hefty $2.2-million price tag.

The three-story house is a shade of vanilla. Its blighted windows and dirt marks show signs of age. It's just another house on the block. Nothing to see. Nothing to witness, except that Adolf Hitler was born there in 1889. After years of legal wrangling, the Austrian government will have the empty house demolished, Andreas Großschartner, an Interior Ministry spokesperson, said Monday. Its demolition will erase links to the Nazi dictator's birthplace and stop the house from becoming a shrine for neo-Nazi pilgrimage. A 13-member commission concluded that a vacant area is not advisable since it could imply a denial of Austrian history.
