Coca-Cola’s move comes a week after the White House issued a statement by President Trump saying he had been talking to the soft drink giant about using cane sugar rather than high-fructose corn syrup in its signature drink.
Corn Refiners Association President and CEO John Bode predicts that an increase in using U.S. cane sugar will lead to a rise in foreign cane sugar imports.
Bode said in a statement to NPR, “Replacing high fructose corn syrup with cane sugar would cost thousands of American food manufacturing jobs, depress farm income, and expand the trade deficit.”
Alcohol is but we’re cool with it, apparently. lol
We at least don’t serve that to children generally.
Absolutely cannot disagree with this. Child obesity is a major issue and sugar is a major factor.
At least it had the historic use of preserving food back before we had refrigeration.
And before we learned to distill alcohol allowing us to feel the effects after far fewer drinks.
