<p>Diet Coke consumer President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that after speaking to Coca-Cola, the soft drink giant has agreed to use &#8220;real cane sugar&#8221; in its beverages in the United States.</p>
<p>&#8220;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. 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!&#8221; Trump <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114864763487869986">wrote</a> on Truth Social.</p>
<p>Coke, the leading soda brand in the world, has been using high-fructose corn syrup, a cheaper alternative to cane sugar, in its drinks since the mid-1980s. The use of high fructose corn syrup has been at the center of debate among dieticians and health experts for years, as some studies have <a href="https://ajcn.nutrition.org/article/S0002-9165(22)03883-7/fulltext">shown</a> a link between high-fructose corn syrup consumption and the obesity epidemic.</p>
<p>Trump&#8217;s Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been an outspoken critic of companies using corn syrup, calling it &#8220;<a href="https://investigatemidwest.org/2025/01/07/rfk-jr-wants-to-wean-america-off-corn-syrup-but-production-is-already-on-the-decline/">poison</a>.&#8221;</p>
<p>High-fructose corn syrup is “just a formula for making you obese and diabetic,” Kennedy said, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/trump-cabinet-confirmation-hearings/card/LFcU0Rto1gTjYKs7p5FF?gaa_at=eafs&amp;gaa_n=ASWzDAiymd6lDpWTs-CDfMv5TvEAdNuFnFIgfsh2dgMYTNN39OI_h1e9NxjIJtEGYCA%3D&amp;gaa_ts=687810b5&amp;gaa_sig=ahA8s7ncINVCAw8d-7cv55iN2R8om0dHlDw_OOCnwgmPO2RNdOCKqIVPCMUXiXknNFOgoe_6B01vSspWqe9Abw%3D%3D">according</a> to The Wall Street Journal.</p>
<p>Mexican Coke, typically sold in glass bottles and imported to the United States, is sweetened with cane sugar, a difference that divides Coke drinkers on which version of the beverage tastes better.</p>
<p>Trump&#8217;s affinity for Diet Coke has been <span style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">well-documented, with some <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/09/us/politics/donald-trump-president.html?_r=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reports</a> stating that the president can drink up to 12 cans of the beverage each day, a habit that </span>Kennedy would surely have a few thoughts on. The president&#8217;s love for Diet Coke was also noticed by the soda brand. Before his second inauguration earlier this year, Coca-Cola CEO James Quincey <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/coca-cola-presents-trump-with-special-gift">presented</a> Trump with the &#8220;first-ever Presidential Commemorative Inaugural Diet Coke bottle.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Tonight, President Trump received the first ever Presidential Commemorative Inaugural Diet Coke bottle from the Chairman and CEO of Coca-Cola Company, James Quincey 🇺🇸 <a href="https://t.co/IgV2pxHnxD">pic.twitter.com/IgV2pxHnxD</a></p>
