Coca-Cola’s move comes a week after the White House issued a statement by President Trump saying he had been talking to the soft drink giant about using cane sugar rather than high-fructose corn syrup in its signature drink.
Corn Refiners Association President and CEO John Bode predicts that an increase in using U.S. cane sugar will lead to a rise in foreign cane sugar imports.
Bode said in a statement to NPR, “Replacing high fructose corn syrup with cane sugar would cost thousands of American food manufacturing jobs, depress farm income, and expand the trade deficit.”
You measure sugar in fluid ounces?
A packet of Kool-Aid actually calls for a full cup of sugar (8 floz). So it’s even more nutritious than you thought!
I was going to say half cup, but ounces seemed more relatable in the moment.
