For decades, Coke and other beverage makers have used high fructose corn syrup or artificial sweeteners in their U.S. sodas.

Coca-Cola confirmed Tuesday that it will release a new Coke made with cane sugar. The announcement follows a social media post from President Donald Trump last week in which he claimed that he persuaded the company to replace high-fructose corn syrup.

As Coca-Cola confirms plans to release the cane sugar alternative in the U.S., some nutritionists said there is little health benefit as a replacement for high-fructose corn syrup.

President Donald Trump’s claim that Coca-Cola is switching to cane sugar has left a bitter taste for corn syrup lobbyists.

President Donald Trump’s desire to have Coca-Cola use cane sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup in its products could cost jobs, a corn industry group warned on Wednesday. Trump suggested Wednesday that Coca-Cola had agreed to use “REAL Cane Sugar in Coke in the United States.

In a groundbreaking announcement, President Donald Trump revealed that Coca-Cola will switch to using 'real cane sugar' in its U.S. beverages, marking a significant shift from high fructose corn syrup.
