On his social network, Truth Social, Donald Trump welcomed, Thursday, July 16, a change in Coca-Cola recipe for American drinks and promised: “It’s simply better!” ».
If Donald Trump promised to “return to America his greatness”, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., undertook to “make America again healthy”. With this in mind, the American Minister of Health militates – in addition to the vaccination obligation – against ultra -formed food and seed oils, cereals or even corn syrup they contain, because they are responsible for the rise in obesity in the United States.
But if Kennedy has deemed priority to put an end to “the epidemic of infantile chronic diseases”, the Minister of Trump decided to opt for a “libertarian” approach: he promised to “prohibit”, simply to “encourage” American companies to replace these elements in their recipes while “enlightening” citizens on “what is in their food and the effects that it can have on health”.
A proven method: after Steak’n Shake who changed the recipe for these fries, it’s Coca-Cola’s turn to adapt.
“It’s just better!” »»
The announcement of this change was made Wednesday July 16 by one of the largest consumers of Coca-Cola in the world, namely Donald Trump. The president welcomed Truth Social to have discussed with the leaders to replace the high-fructose corn syrup used since 1985 in the United States with Cannes sugar. “And they accepted,” he said, assuring: “It’s just better! »»
The American giant hastened to react to this announcement, on their website, without giving more details: “We appreciate the enthusiasm of President Trump for our emblematic Coca-Cola brand. More details on the new innovative offers from our Coca-Cola product range will soon be shared, ”reads.
The transition from corn syrup to cane sugar is nevertheless debated within the scientific community, because studies are contradictory as to whether the second is healthier than the first, reports ABC News. Research suggests that any sugar added, whatever it is, increases the risk of type 2 diabetes and other diseases.
A longtime love
Large Coca-Cola Light drinker, Donald Trump had a special button in the oval office installed to be brought by his butler. A switch on which the president supported up to 12 times a day during his first mandate. An annoying habit that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. gave himself the challenge of correcting, but which seems definitely well anchored … The legend also tells that nobody has ever seen Trump drinking water!
Coca-Cola already uses cane sugar for its drinks sold in Mexico, the United Kingdom, Africa and the Middle East, but also for its Kasher version. In France, the American firm uses white beet sugar, also called sucrose.
