Does diet Dr Pepper have aspartame?

Answer 1

No, diet Dr. Pepper does not contain Splenda. Splenda is a separate company, that -always- brands a product their product has been used in. It is a selling point for Splenda and the affiliated company to mention them as the Splenda name brings with it the customers that consume, thus, if you do not see Splenda on the product, it has not been used in it.

Note:

Their are many alternates to splenda for flavoring things to be sweeter.

So lets look at diet dr peppers official ingredients (from the companies website):

INGREDIENTS

CARBONATED WATER (duh bubbles and water)

CARAMELCOLOR (food colouring)

Aspartame Here is the culprit, this is a popular and SUSPECTED dangerous alternative to sugar. In MASS doses this has been proven to make people violently ill. You will likely never drink enough to become sick though unless you walk up to their factor and sit in the back of one of their trucks and drink a whole load of soda.

PHOSPHORIC ACID (flavor)

ARTIFICIAL AND NATURAL FLAVORS (more yummies ness)

SODIUM BENZOATE (PRESERVATIVE)

CAFFEINE Ccan cause a heart attack if you have enough^^ but i believe the research points to it being some excessive ammount of espresso, i just put this in to balance the comment about aspertame. Though people accept it to be safe to consume and even eat it in tablet form, but the side effects of this drug are increased heart rate and metabolism (don't use this to diet you WILL die), and it also causes your body to realease a chemical the causes your body to go "hey i need to pee". Essentially, do not drink caffeinated drinks as your body will absorb very little of the water and imediately send it down to your bladder (this is why caffenated drinks aren't very satisfying and people a drink a lot, this is in the beverage for this very purpose, to make you thirsty, after being thristy so you drink more, just like pretzels at a bar).

PHENYLKETONURICS CONTAINS: PHENYLALANINE ( i havent a clue what these are but they are -not- sweeteners, aspertame is the worlds most well known non-sugar sweetener)
