President Donald Trump’s claim that Coca-Cola is switching to cane sugar has left a bitter taste for corn syrup lobbyists.

"The American Medical Association has confirmed that HFCS is no more likely to contribute to obesity than table sugar or other full-calorie sweeteners," the post continued. "Please be assured that Coca-Cola brand soft drinks do not contain any harmful substances."

Agricultural industry leaders fear a push away from corn syrup could disrupt production of the U.S.’s largest crop.

With corn flakes cereal and a couple of other pantry staples, you can make delicious and satisfying cookies without even turning on the oven.

Democrats and independents say Trump's cuts to Medicaid and wind power, plus a push for cane sugar over corn syrup, are alienating voters in this farm state.

Soft-drink makers’ potential shift from high-fructose corn syrup to real sugar could have deep implications not only for the beverage industry, but also the sugar cane and corn sectors in the U.S.
