The president said last week he urged the iconic soft drink brand to use the sweetener in its American version of Coke.

American cane-sweetened Cokes are on the way, risking a boost in demand for a type of sugar US farmers can’t fully supply and is critically vulnerable to Trump-era tariffs.

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.
