Problem with that video (unless I missed it) is he never addressed how the nutritional facts clearly state “cane sugar” in the list of ingredients, yet are supposedly using high fructose corn syrup instead and not putting that on the ingredients list.
I have seen that not all Mexican Coke bottles in US stores have cane sugar. Some do say that they have HFCS on the label but I continue to buy the ones that list out cane sugar on their ingredients list.
The study he references suggests that Coca-cola is essentially lying, because no one other than that study bothered to test if there was Sugar or HFCS in the soda labeled with Cane Sugar.
Considering Coca-Cola is a company known for being willing to murder union organizers, I don’t think it’s a stretch that they’d lie about that for profits.
The paper cited in that video had serious flaws in their methodology.
A repeat analysisby the same group found that Mexican Coca Cola actually does contain table sugar (sucrose) as well as fructose, whereas American Coca Cola contains no table sugar and more fructose than the Mexican version.
EDIT: This is, in fact, false information! Please refer to @[email protected]’s comment for the facts.
Mexican coke has been found to have no sugar in it, it also uses High Fructose Corn Syrup.
Any flavor enhancement over regular coke appears to be placebo, possibly an effect of the glass bottle.

The study he references also did not bother to test for sugar, only fructose.
When they later repeated their analysis, they found that Mexican Coca Cola actually does contain sugar, unlike American Coca Cola.

Cheers for that information! I’ve corrected my post to reflect this.
