How will the Coca-Cola recipe change affect the taste of the classic soda? President Donald Trump recently made headlines with a bold claim: he said he convinced Coca-Cola to switch from high-fructose corn syrup to cane sugar in its U.

President Trump has a famous affinity for Diet Coke, which uses aspartame, a low-calorie artificial sweetener. He has reinstalled a button on the Oval Office desk that alerts White House staff when he wants a fresh can of Diet Coke.

Coca-Cola in the U.S. is currently made with high-fructose corn syrup, while the company uses cane sugar in other countries, such as Mexico

On July 16, Donald Trump, the President of the United States, shared his thoughts on Coca-Cola on Truth Social. He said Coca-Cola would soon start using "real cane sugar" in drinks sold in America. His post got a lot of attention online and made Coca-Cola respond.

The debate over whether Coca-Cola should use high-fructose corn syrup or cane sugar in its signature soda obscures an important fact: Consumers are increasingly looking for Coke with no sugar at all.

Coca-Cola confirmed Tuesday that it will release a new Coke made with cane sugar. The announcement follows a social media post from President Donald Trump last week in which he claimed that he persuaded the company to replace high-fructose corn syrup.
