Donald Trump issues an urgent warning in the U.S.: 'Coca-Cola will never be the same'

Donald Trump made an announcement that surprised many, although others already saw it coming due to the government's recent moves. Amid debates about health and nutrition, Coca-Cola has decided to make a major change in the United States. What until recently seemed impossible is now happening on American soil.

Donald Trump has confirmed that Coca-Cola will return to using real cane sugar instead of high-fructose corn syrup. The president revealed it on his Truth Social network after reaching an agreement with the company's board. The measure will directly affect products distributed and sold within the United States.

Coca-Cola will return to the original flavor

"I've been talking with Coca-Cola about using REAL cane sugar in Coca-Cola in the United States, and they've agreed. I want to thank all the authorities at Coca-Cola. It'll be a very good decision, meanwhile, you'll see," Trump wrote.

The change aims to offer a higher-quality product, closer to what is consumed in countries like Mexico. Since the 1980s, Coca-Cola had replaced cane sugar with corn syrup for economic reasons.

High-fructose corn syrup became popular because it was cheaper and more accessible due to local agricultural production. However, many consumers have criticized that change for decades. Numerous studies indicate that cane sugar provides a more authentic flavor and a different experience for the palate.

On social media, the news has been received with a mix of enthusiasm and humor. Some users recalled that Trump is a fan of Diet Coke, a drink with no sugar at all. Even so, the change aligns with a new political narrative around public health in the United States.

New era in health policies

This shift by Coca-Cola comes in a context of transformations driven by the federal government. Robert F Kennedy Jr., current Secretary of Health and Human Services, leads the "Make America Healthy Again" campaign. The goal is clear: to improve the country's eating habits from the ground up.

Among the recent measures, the elimination of artificial colorings in ice cream production stands out. Kennedy warned that certain additives could be linked to chronic diseases. The administration has also approved that some states ban SNAP program beneficiaries from buying sodas and sweets with public funds.

Although Coca-Cola hasn't yet published an official statement, the weight of Trump's announcement is significant. The decision could open the door to more changes in the beverage and food industry. In addition, it would set a historic precedent in a market that has used corn syrup as the standard for more than four decades.

With this news, the United States joins the group of countries that prefer the original recipe of the famous drink. If the change is finalized, Coca-Cola could even gain more presence in the country. For now, all that remains is to wait for the company's final confirmation, which will undoubtedly mark a turning point in the sector.
