Very little of South Dakota’s corn is used to produce sweetened beverages, but the crop’s boosters in the state say a nationwide shift toward cane sugar is an unwelcome sign for corn farmers. Coca-Cola announced its intention to offer cane sugar-sweetened beverages this week.

Coca-Cola 's announcement that it is releasing a cane sugar-based version of its primary soda — made with American sugar — has Louisiana sugar cane farmers excited, but not yet making plans to expand.

As Coca-Cola confirms plans to release the cane sugar alternative in the U.S., some nutritionists said there is little health benefit as a replacement for high-fructose corn syrup.

The cane sugar-based Coke will be offered alongside the standard Coke, which has been made for decades with high-fructose corn syrup.

Trump thought the addition of a new Coke variety, which won’t replace the regular corn-syrup version, warranted a presidential announcement.
