There’s a corn association? Learn something new every day.

Be enterprising and find something else to use corn for or grow something else. It's not rocket science. The high fructose corn syrup grift is over. It should have been over long ago if the FDA actually cared about a healthy populace more than money in their pockets.

If you say this because of the taste difference between US and Mexican Coke then you are mistaken. The difference in sweeteners makes zero taste difference between those two.
Well I guess my tastebuds work.

The difference you taste is not the difference in sweeteners (chemistry) the difference you taste is in the rest of the formula which you seem to prefer.

a can of coke is still going to contain wayyyyy too much sugar for there to be any difference in terms of health.

Obviously sugar and HFCS taste differently if Coke had to change the formula and the version with real sugar tastes better. I’m sorry that bothers you.

Didn't say it was easy or cheap. They already buy $1M combines, cotton pickers, etc. They can afford newer equipment to produce sugar beets.

Most of the sugar consumed in the US is imported from Mexico and South America. World market price is around 16 cents per pound. The import tariffs raised the price US farmers get to about 38 cents last year. The more sugar we use the more revenue from tariffs. Of course the sugar league will tell you sugar isn’t subsidized but the consumer pays the tariff. Trump wants to raise revenue.

Clarification- most of the sugar is not
Imported. We don’t produce enough to
Meet demand and import some where around 1/3 of use. The tariffs artificially raise the prices domestically.

It is hilarious you essentially accuse me of making a feels-based argument when it is simply a chemistry argument.
Coke has different formulas that are adjusted for their individual markets. Drink a Coke in the US, Belgium, Thailand, and Mexico and they all taste different, it is by design. The difference you are able to taste in a US and Mexican Coke has nothing to do with the sweetener. HFCS and cane sugar, when used in Coke, become chemically identical and therefore identical in taste quickly after being mixed due to the low ph of Coke as a result of a chemical process called acid-catalyzed sucrose inversion which results in HFCS becoming free glucose and fructose just like cane sugar.

Grow something else then.
We only grow that amount of corn for shite like hfcs.
I don't even know the last time I ate corn. It gets stuck in my teeth, and I don't digest it well.

Reuters fake news stirring sh!t. Corn farmers will be fine.
Posted on 7/18/25 at 2:38 pm to Crappieman
It's happening.
Posted on 7/18/25 at 2:41 pm to Obtuse1
Everything you said is correct. The difference in Mexican coke and US coke is the glass bottle and the sodium content.
