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.”
I would have thought people would stop drinking Coke if they had to sweeten it themselves, but I used to make Kool-Aid with 4floz (120ml) per half gallon (about 2 liters).
You measure sugar in fluid ounces?
A packet of Kool-Aid actually calls for a full cup of sugar (8 floz). So it’s even more nutritious than you thought!
I was going to say half cup, but ounces seemed more relatable in the moment.
