Trump Pushes Coca-Cola to Switch from High-Fructose Corn Syrup to Cane Sugar

Former President Donald Trump has been vocal about his desire for Coca-Cola to replace high-fructose corn syrup with cane sugar in its U.S. beverages, claiming it would be a healthier option. While Trump asserts that he has brokered a deal, Coca-Cola has yet to confirm any changes to its recipe. This potential shift has raised concerns among corn growers, who warn that it could threaten thousands of agricultural jobs. Meanwhile, advocates for cane sugar, including Louisiana farmers, express optimism about the economic impact. As the debate continues, experts are weighing in on whether cane sugar is indeed healthier than its high-fructose counterpart.
