President Donald Trump on Wednesday claimed that Coca-Cola will switch its formulation in the U.S. to use cane sugar instead of high-fructose corn syrup, a change the company has not explicitly confirmed, while the corn refining industry warned that such a move could lead to job losses.

I'm quite sure the corn refiners are squealing in panic!

YES AND YAY TRUMP!!!

Plain ordinary cane sugar is so much less dangerous than high fructose corn syrup. Our bodies can handle the cane sugar so much better than the HFCS!

This will make a difference for the health of a lot of kids and adults who drink that stuff. It's not great, but it will be a lot less damaging if they get that HFCS outta there!

I can live with job losses in industries that poison people's health. And the job losses in big pharma that loves to treat all the conditions that HFCS generates.

You realize that if we help America not be addicted to opioids, thousands of low wage poppy pickers in Afghanistan will lose their jobs, right? If they lose their jobs, just think of all those high-rise offices that will be laid off because America ceases interest in being addicted to cope.

Me too.
