Trump Announces Coca-Cola Plans US Cane Sugar Switch

President Donald Trump announced via Truth Social that Coca-Cola had agreed to switch its U.S. Coke recipe from high-fructose corn syrup to real cane sugar, a change he called 'just better.' However, Coca-Cola has not confirmed this, instead issuing statements appreciating Trump's enthusiasm and promising more details on upcoming product innovations. The company has long used cane sugar in markets like Mexico, and 'Mexican Coke' is already imported for U.S. fans preferring its taste. The suggested switch aligns with the Make America Healthy Again initiative, led by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., which criticizes artificial ingredients and high-fructose corn syrup in American diets. The corn industry opposes the potential move, warning it could harm U.S. manufacturing jobs and farm income without providing nutritional benefits. As of now, there is no official confirmation or timeline for the recipe change.
