Usually it's a portion difference, not a disagreement. This page scores ginger ale at a serving of 1 glass (250 ml) sugar-sweetened ginger ale; at HFCS-sweetened or very large servings (Excess Fructose) it belongs in the high band. A source quoting the larger serve will call it high, and one quoting the smaller will call it low — the same food, measured at two different amounts.
