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.
