I can attest to this. Whenever I go out to a restaurant (if I'm not ordering a beer), I get unsweetened iced tea. High-Fructose Corn Syrup has been known to cause Type II diabetes due to the body's inability to process it as a sugar, and quite frankly I don't want to drink the stuff. Aside from the fact that it tastes too... well, syrupy.

Anyway, a lot of restaurants have been dispensing Nestea "fresh brewed" out of the giant kettle-fountain. It isn't exactly bad.. but it's not quite as good as fresh brewed. Luckily my local diner still makes theirs fresh, which is good since I don't like to put any sugar in it anyway. A proper cup of fresh brewed iced tea has a certain natural sweetness to it, in my opinion.
