Coca-Cola announced it will introduce a cane sugar-sweetened cola in the US this fall. This follows President Trump's public comments urging the company to use real cane sugar. While "Mexican Coke" (already cane sugar-sweetened) has gained popularity, the switch reflects consumer preference for less sugar and competition with PepsiCo, which also recently launched a cane sugar cola. The move comes despite higher costs associated with cane sugar compared to high-fructose corn syrup.
