President Donald Trump said Wednesday that Coca-Cola agreed to use real cane sugar in its US sodas at his suggestion, though the company did not confirm the change. A shift from high-fructose corn syrup would align US Coke with versions sold in Mexico and Australia. Diet Coke, sweetened with aspartame, would be unaffected.

    I did watch the whole video, and it seems like you’re confusing glucose with sucrose.

    High fructose corn syrup is a mixture of 45% glucose & 55% fructose.

    Sucrose (cane sugar) is a disaccharide composed of 1 fructose and 1 glucose, qnd breaks down into those in an acidic environment.

    Glucose and fructose are monosaccharides that don’t break down into other sugars.
