Coca-Cola plans to expand its U.S. soda offerings with a version of its namesake cola sweetened with cane sugar. President Donald Trump had earlier announced that he had spoken with Coke about using "REAL Cane Sugar" in its drinks. Coke first started using high-fructose corn syrup to sweeten its namesake soda in the U.S. in the 1980s.

Mexican Coke sweetened with cane sugar tends to be a go-to beverage for Coca-Cola fans who want to avoid the U.S.-made version of the beverage with corn syrup. But soon, Coca-Cola will offer a version of its classic beverage sweetened with cane sugar manufactured in the U.S., according to multiple reports.

Coca-Cola said Tuesday it will add a cane-sugar version of its trademark cola to its U.S. lineup this fall, confirming a recent announcement by President Donald Trump.

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. declared that “sugar is poison.” Roughly three months later, Kennedy praised Steak ’n Shake for announcing that the fast-food chain would start offering Coca-Cola with real cane sugar instead of high-fructose corn syrup.

Here's how much a $1,000 investment in Coca-Cola would be worth today, assuming dividends were reinvested, based on the stock's closing price of $70.07 on July 21, 2025. By comparison, the total return on an S&P 500 index fund, including reinvested dividends, would have been 109% over five years, 254% over 10 years and 652% over 20 years.
