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.

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.

The debate over whether Coca-Cola should use high-fructose corn syrup or cane sugar in its signature cola obscures an important fact: Consumers are increasingly looking for Coke with no sugar at all.
