The MAHA movement aims to improve America's health by reforming the food industry, starting with soft drinks. A significant change includes replacing high-fructose corn syrup with cane sugar in Coke. Despite claims of cane sugar being a healthier choice, both substances are chemically similar and impact health in comparable ways. Cane sugar is essentially sucrose, which consists of 50% fructose, thus not a significant health upgrade. The perception of cane sugar as 'natural' influences consumer preference, but does not necessarily equate to better health outcomes.
Cane sugar is simply sucrose, the same basic table sugar you've been using for decades. Sucrose is a disaccharide, meaning it's composed of two sugars.
Cane sugar and HFCS are actually very similar in their make-up and effects on overall health. It doesn't guarantee health just because it is labeled 'natural'.
When health-conscious Coke drinkers say, 'Cane sugar is natural and real!', 'natural' sounds nice, but it doesn't guarantee health.
The term 'cane sugar' sticks because it seems natural and healthy. One feels like a high-end ingredient, one sounds like 'chemicals'.
