Key Components & Warnings

1. Artificial Sweeteners:

   • Aspartame (E951) and Acesulfame Potassium (Ace-K, E950) are primary sweeteners. These are FDA/EFSA-approved but may trigger sensitivities in some individuals (e.g., headaches, digestive issues).
   • Warning: Aspartame can break down into methanol in the body, though at levels in beverages, this is considered safe by regulatory agencies. However, people with phenylketonuria (PKU) must avoid it due to phenylalanine content.

2. Caffeine:

   • Contains 32 mg of caffeine per 10 fl oz (300 mL) (~34 mg per 12 oz can), comparable to regular Coca-Cola. Not recommended for children, pregnant women, or individuals sensitive to stimulants (e.g., anxiety, heart conditions).
