      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 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 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.

        The paper cited in that video had serious flaws in their methodology.

        A repeat analysis by 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.
