Coca-Cola to use cane sugar in U.S
Digest more
President Donald Trump says Coca-Cola has agreed to use real cane sugar in its flagship soft drink in the U.S. at his suggestion — though the company hasn't confirmed such a move.
The president’s comment about Coca-Cola switching a key ingredient comes at a time when the US health secretary has criticized the use of ingredients like corn syrup.

The scrutiny over Coke’s sweeteners began Wednesday, when President Donald Trump announced that Atlanta-based Coca-Cola Co. had agreed to switch to using cane sugar in the regular version of its beverage manufactured in the U.S.
According to Instagram influencer snachwithzach, Coca-Cola Starlight is coming back in a full-sugar variety. “This is a developing story but it looks like we could see this as soon as August in a very limited capacity. As far as we know there won’t be a zero,” he says.
