Digest more
Coca-Cola confirmed that it would introduce a new product made with U.S. cane sugar after President Donald Trump said he had urged the beverage giant to use the ingredient again.
Coca-Cola has confirmed it will expand its trademark product line with a new beverage made with U.S. cane sugar. The announcement comes days after President Donald Trump said on social media the Atlanta beverage giant would change a key soda ingredient. It wasn’t immediately clear the scope of the change.
President Donald Trump said Coca-Cola agreed to use cane sugar in the U.S. How does that stack up with high-fructose corn syrup?
Asked about the switch, a representative for Coca-Cola didn’t explicitly say it would use cane sugar for products in the U.S.
"The American Medical Association has confirmed that HFCS is no more likely to contribute to obesity than table sugar or other full-calorie sweeteners," the post continued. "Please be assured that Coca-Cola brand soft drinks do not contain any harmful substances."
