Just want to point that that Actually, it doesn't.
Not interested enough in the topic to actually watch the video but from the first seconds and description: Sucrose is made up of 50% fructose and 50% glucose. You can split it apart, producing inverted sugar, with nothing but water and heat, you can help that along a lot by adding acid, of which there's a decent amount in coke. Any bottle of coke, even if made with 100% straight sucrose, will contain detectable levels of separate fructose and glucose before it hits the shelves.
The issue with HFCS btw is the "high fructose" part, fructose goes straight to the liver and gets turned into fatty tissue: At equal sweetness, HFCS is metabolically more dangerous, especially if you never dig into your fat reserves, than sucrose. inverted sugar is equally as good or bad as sucrose. It'd get split apart in your stomach with acid, in your mouth with enzymes, you name it.
