President Donald Trump said Wednesday beverage giant Coca-Cola has agreed to use cane sugar in its iconic drink in the U.S.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have been speaking to Coca-Cola about using REAL Cane Sugar in Coke in the United States, and they have agreed to do so,\u201d Trump said in a post on his Truth Social platform. \u201cI\u2019d like to thank all of those in authority at Coca-Cola. This will be a very good move by them \u2014 You\u2019ll see. It\u2019s just better!\u201d<\/p>\n

In a brief statement on its website, Coca-Cola said: \u201cWe appreciate President Trump\u2019s enthusiasm for our iconic Coca\u2011Cola brand. More details on new innovative offerings within our Coca\u2011Cola product range will be shared soon.\u201d<\/p>\n

High-fructose corn syrup has been Coca-Cola\u2019s primary sweetener in U.S. products since 1985. The company currently uses cane sugar in products sold in several other markets, including Mexico, the United Kingdom, Africa and the Middle East. The company also sells a limited amount of Coke in the U.S. made with sugar as a kosher option for Passover \u2014 distinguished by its yellow caps, instead of red.<\/p>\n

A noted Diet Coke enthusiast, Trump\u2019s relationship with the beverage giant has been well-documented.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the inauguration for his second term, Trump received a special Presidential Commemorative Inaugural Diet Coke bottle from Coca-Cola Company Chairman and CEO James Quincey.<\/p>\n

Why the change?
\nTrump didn\u2019t specify a reason for the change. However, the announcement comes as Robert F. Kennedy Jr.\u2019s \u201cMake America Healthy Again\u201d initiative gains traction, which advocates for removing HFCS from American food products. The initiative cites research linking HFCS to various health issues that contributes to obesity and chronic illness.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

However, studies are mixed on whether cane sugar is healthier than HFCS, with research suggesting that any added sugars, regardless of what type, increase the risk of Type 2 diabetes and other diseases. Dietitians recommend limiting added sugars of all varieties to less than 50 grams per day for most adults. One 12-ounce can of Coke has roughly 39 grams of sugar.<\/p>\n

Coke\u2019s switch from sugar to corn syrup
\nCoca-Cola\u2019s 1985 transition to high-fructose corn syrup in the United States was primarily a business decision, the company said. The change coincided with rising sugar prices and agricultural policies that made corn syrup a more economical alternative.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
