President Trump claims Coca-Cola is switching from high-fructose corn syrup to cane sugar in its products—a move he framed as a win for taste and health. But experts are split on whether cane sugar is actually better, sparking debates about nutrition, corporate influence, and consumer preferences.

Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about soda—it’s a microcosm of bigger fights over food politics. Trump’s push plays into nostalgia for "real sugar" (think "Mexican Coke" fans), but nutritionally, the difference is slim. The story matters because it shows how policy, marketing, and public perception collide in what ends up in your grocery cart.
