Only Coke bottled in Mexico or other countries outside the USA use sugar. The Coke products made in the USA are made with a cheaper sweetener called "high fructose corn syrup," which is based on corn and synthetic enzymes along with other chemicals.
There are many concerns about the health effects of HFCS, since it is not broken down in he body the same way sucrose is. Studies have found it leads to deformities in test animals, and other studies suggest a link to cancer. Also, it doesn't satisfy your thirst as well as the original sugar based Coke does, and in the end you will drink more HFCS product, which leads to weight gain.
HFCS advocates claim "we're only as bad as sugar" but this is not so. It is likely responsible for the obesity epidemic in the American population and should be avoided. Read your labels. HFCS is in jellies, breads, cookies and most other soda products. It does take effort to avoid, but you will be rewarded if you do so.
Let's put it another way, HFCS is not something you would have found in your Grandmother's kitchen. She would not recognize it as food.
The original sugar based Coke bottled in Mexico is available at Costco. It tastes much better and is so much more refreshing.
