The Make America Healthy Again (Maha) of Trump’s government, named for the social movement aligned with the Secretary of Health Robert F. Kennedy JR, has pressed to food companies to modify their formulations and eliminate ingredients such as artificial coloring.
Coca-Cola produced for the US market usually is sweetened with corn syrup, while in other countries the company uses cane sugar.
Kennedy has criticized the amount of sugar consumed in the American diet and has said that the updated dietary guidelines that will be published this summer boreal will advise Americans to eat “integral foods.”
