Coca-Cola will release a cane sugar version of its classic soda in the U.S. this fall, following Donald Trump’s endorsement. While some see it as a healthier move, experts say cane sugar and high-fructose corn syrup have similar health effects.

For the first time in over 40 years, Coca‑Cola is bringing back a cane sugar–sweetened version of its iconic soda to the U.S. this fall. The move marks a nostalgic shift for the beverage giant, which famously replaced real sugar with high‑fructose corn syrup (HFCS) in the early 1980s due to rising costs.

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.

As Coca-Cola confirms plans to release the cane sugar alternative in the U.S., some nutritionists said there is little health benefit as a replacement for high-fructose corn syrup.

Trump declared on Truth Social that Coca-Cola had "agreed" to switch from high-fructose corn syrup to cane sugar.
