The Sweetener Showdown

So how exactly does Coke Zero pull off that sweet cola taste with zero real sugar? Here's the skinny:

• Uses a blend of the artificial sweeteners aspartame and acesulfame potassium (heck yeah, science!)
• These sneakily sweet chemicals trick your tastebuds, but have zero calories
• Numerous studies confirm these are safe choices (in moderation)

We have to admit - that's pretty ingenious! Coke Zero found a loophole to sweeten its soda without all the unhealthy extras. So this round is a draw in our book!
