BREAKING: Trump says Coca Cola in US will switch from corn syrup to cane sugar

“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,” Trump posted. “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. It’s just better!”

The Coca-Cola Company has not publicly confirmed the change.

According to Coca-Cola’s official website, its classic Coke products sold in the United States currently contain high fructose corn syrup.

This change would mark a significant change for the company’s US and Canada product formulation. Outside of the United States, Coca-Cola is often sweetened with cane sugar, and some consumers have long preferred the taste of "Mexican Coke," which uses cane sugar rather than corn syrup.
