President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that Coca -Cola agreed that he began to heat the product with a cane sugar rather than a fructose corn syrup. Whether it actually happens still remains. Coca -Cola spokesman did not confirm the president’s claim.
Still, Trump said In the truth society“I’ll see you. It’s better!”
Is it still?
Dr. Dariush Mozaffury, a Medicine Institute of the Friedman Nutrition Science and Policy of TUFTS University, is not an answer regarding the potential health effects.
“High fructose corn syrup and cane sugar are about 50% fructose and 50% glucose and have the same metabolic effect.”
In other words, both can be equal to the risk of obesity, diabetes and high triglycerides and blood pressure. Both provide the same number of calories, but the body processes differently.
Whether it’s a cane sugar or a corn syrup, it’s the most damaging fructose. There is almost completely sugar It is processed by liverIt is converted Triglyceride with excessive fructoseTypes of fats related to heart disease.
Unlike glucose, fructose does not stimulate the body to produce insulin. Insulin causes hormones that give a feeling of people.
Over time, too many fructose can cause insulin resistance and increase the risk of type 2 diabetes.
Corn syrup has slightly more fructose than table sugar and is a 55% fructose ratio to 45% glucose.
Dr. Melanie Jay, a professor of medical and population health professors at NYU Grossman School of Medicine, and NYU LANGONE comprehensive program manager on obesity research, said that it is beneficial to switch from corn syrup to cane sugar.
“The difference of 5%can mean that millions of people are less fragmented,” she said. “But table sugar is different from health food. You need to add sugar in any form.”
Sugar soda is related to children’s obesity for a long time. According to 2023 international research showed that young people drank. One or more refreshing drinks One day, the prevalence of overweight or obesity was higher than young people who did not drink soda every day.

Regardless of the selection of sweeteners, soda generally belongs to the category of ultra -fine food, with sugar, artificial colors and aroma. All of them were the goal of the minister of health at Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
In a Friday statement, Kennedy welcomed the news that Coca -Cola could turn into a cane sugar. “Americans are eligible to approach natural foods, such as what other countries enjoy, and the president offers this.”
Is natural sweeteners different?
All fruits contain some sugar, but some vegetables are the same, but this kind of natural sweeteners are not the same as adding sugar to soda, Jay said. For example, apples contain sugar, but they are rich in vitamins, minerals and vegetation chemicals, especially fiber.
“When you eat apples, your stomach must handle it. Sugar is fully because it is not released quickly to the body,” she said. “When you drink soda, you can’t get fiber, so sugar is absorbed directly into your blood flow.”
Is the cane sugar tastes like corn syrup?
Will the change of sweeteners change the taste of the cold coca -cola?
Mo Jaffa Lia said that the discerned coke-api would probably find a difference. (He is in Team Cane Sugar. “I can’t stand the taste of corn syrup.”)
He said that it is important to reduce sweetness overall. “We must have a sweet taste that really hurt American addiction.”
NYU’s Jay said, “It is always better to reduce soda anyone in sugar.”
