President Donald Trump says that Coca-Cola has agreed to use real sugarcane sugar in its drinks sold in the US.
Coca-Cola uses corn syrup in its American products, but Trump’s Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has expressed concern about the health effects of the component.
Trump wrote on social media, “I am talking to Coca-Cola about using real cane sugar in Coke in the United States, and they have agreed to do so.” “I want to thank all the people of the authority in Coca-Cola.”
Without clearly confirming the recipe Twiks, a spokesperson of Coca-Cola stated that they “appreciate the enthusiasm of President Trump” and “more details on new innovative prasad within our Coca-Cola product range will be shared soon”.
Trump said on Truth Social in Wednesday’s post: “It will be a great step by him – you will see. It’s better!”
While the coke sold in the US is usually sweet with corn syrup, coke in other countries, such as Mexico, UK and Australia, goes to use sugarcane sugar.
In April, Coca-Cola CEO James Quincy told investors that “we continue to progress on the shortage of sugar in our beverages”.
He said that the Atlanta-based company has done “by changing dishes as well as using our global marketing resources and distribution networks to promote awareness and interest in our sometimes expanded portfolio”.
But any decision to use cane sugar can leave a bitter outrest for American corn farmers.
John Bode, president and CEO of the Corn Refiners Association, said in a statement, “Thousands of American food manufacturing jobs instead of high fructose corn syrup with sugarcane sugar, to suppress the income of the farm and promote import of foreign sugar, will not have any nutritional benefits.”
The US Health Secretary and his Make America Healthy Again Movement have advocated the removal of artificial colors from their products such as corn syrup, seed oil and artificial colors for companies, connecting them to a litni of health problems.
Kennedy has also been important for the amount of Chinese Americans and allegedly plans to update the nationwide diet guidelines in this summer.
Trump Diet is a regular drinker of coke – which uses artificial sweetener aspartem. He had a button installed at the resolute desk of the Oval Office, so that he could be served soda.
