Watch: Why is Donald Trump asking Coca-Cola to change its recipe?

Former US President Donald Trump has urged Coca-Cola to revert to using cane sugar instead of high-fructose corn syrup in its recipe. Trump argued that cane sugar is a healthier alternative, providing a better taste and quality. The article suggests that Trump's request may be influenced by his personal preference for cane sugar, which is a common ingredient in many traditional sodas. Additionally, the use of high-fructose corn syrup has been a subject of debate, with some studies linking it to increased health risks, such as obesity and type 2 diabetes. However, the article does not provide any conclusive evidence on the relative health benefits of cane sugar versus high-fructose corn syrup. It also does not address the potential economic or logistical implications of such a change for Coca-Cola or the wider industry. Overall, the article presents Trump's request as a personal preference, without delving into the deeper implications or the scientific evidence surrounding the debate over sweeteners in soft drinks.
