Trump: Coca-Cola agreed to use cane sugar in U.S. drinks | LiveNOW from FOX

President Donald Trump said Wednesday that Atlanta-based Coca-Cola has agreed to begin using real cane sugar in its signature soft drink in the United States, following his recommendation — though the beverage giant has yet to confirm any such change.

"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 wrote on his social media platform. "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!"

A spokesperson for the Atlanta-based Coca-Cola Co. responded to Trump’s comments by thanking him for his enthusiasm and stating that more information about new product offerings would be announced soon. The company offered no clarification on whether it plans to alter the sweetener in U.S. Coca-Cola products.

If true, the shift from high-fructose corn syrup to cane sugar would align Coca-Cola’s U.S. formula with versions already available in countries such as Mexico and Australia. However, the move would not impact Trump’s favorite beverage — Diet Coke — which contains aspartame, an artificial, calorie-free sweetener.

John Bode, the President & CEO of the Corn Refiners Association, joins LiveNOW's Andrew Craft to talk about this possible switch.
