Coca-Cola Kicks Corn to the Curb with Launch of Trump-Approved Coke

Coca-Cola has started selling a version of Coke in the U.S. that uses cane sugar, rather than high-fructose corn syrup following a demand from President Donald Trump.
Some international versions of Coke already use cane sugar, including Coca-Cola sold in Mexico.
The high-fructose corn syrup used in American-made Coca-Cola is a common and sweetener made from corn grown in the U.S., which is then processed into starch and converted into corn syrup.
However, high-fructose corn syrup is an ingredient that U.S. Health and Human Services secretary, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., has aggressively advocated against.
A “MAHA Commission” report in May argued that high-fructose corn syrup is a factor in obesity and related diseases.
