Abstract

The article discusses Coca-Cola's decision to return to using real cane sugar in its U.S. products, a shift from high fructose corn syrup that has been in place since the mid-1980s. President Donald Trump claimed credit for facilitating this change, stating it would benefit American consumers. The article highlights the historical context of Coca-Cola's sweetener choices, noting that the transition to corn syrup was influenced by U.S. government policies on sugar and corn. It also mentions the popularity of "Mexican Coke," which has continued to use cane sugar, among U.S. consumers. The timeline for the nationwide implementation of cane sugar in Coca-Cola products remains unclear. [Extracted from the article]
