Kennedy Jr. told Newsweek that he "welcomes" President Donald Trump's announcement this week that Coca-Cola will start using real cane sugar in its signature soda in the United States. Newsweek has reached out to Coca-Cola's press team for comment via email on Friday.

President Donald Trump announced Wednesday that Coca-Cola would switch from using high-fructose corn syrup to real cane sugar in its drinks. The president made his announcement on Truth Social, but people online were skeptical that Trump was telling the truth, and with good reason. Trump lies constantly.

Does Coca-Cola made with cane sugar — aka Mexican Coke — really taste better than the U.S. version made with high-fructose corn syrup, as President Donald Trump claims? Not quite, according to some studies.
