Trump says Coca-Cola US to switch to cane sugar: What’s your take as a UK consumer? 🥤

Hi everyone, how are you doing today?

According to US news reports, President Trump has announced that Coca-Cola will replace high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) with cane sugar in its American products. While this doesn’t affect UK formulas, where real sugar is already more common, it raises questions about how much the type of sugar we consume really matters for our health.

Experts say cane sugar and corn syrup are quite similar nutritionally, but both can impact chronic conditions like diabetes, obesity, and heart disease when consumed in excess. What does make a difference is overall sugar intake.

💬 How do you feel about these kinds of food reformulation announcements?

🗨️ Do you think the UK already does enough around regulating sugar and health?

📌 Would you prefer clearer labelling on what types of sugar are used in products here?
