President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that Coca‑Cola has agreed to begin using real cane sugar instead of high‑fructose corn syrup in its soft drinks sold in the U.S. He called the change “a very good move” and thanked Coca‑Cola executives for their cooperation. The company hasn’t confirmed the switch but thanked Trump for his enthusiasm and said details would be revealed soon.
The statement read, “I have been speaking to Coca-Cola about using REAL Cane Sugar in Coke in the United States, and they have agreed to do so. I’d like to thank all of those in authority at Coca-Cola. This will be a very good move by them – You’ll see.”
The announcement aligns with the “Make America Healthy Again” initiative led by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., which supports reducing processed ingredients like HFCS. However, the Corn Refiners Association reportedly warned that the change could cost U.S. farmers jobs and increase foreign sugar imports, without nutritional benefits
