So I was just looking up ingredients in coke zero and found an ingredient I had never heard of… googled it and started reading about it.. Not really sure why something that already contains aspartame, which is terrible, also needs an artificial sweetener that is 200X sweeter than sugar and has even more yucky side effects. Acesulfame-K: Acesulfame-K (aka Ace-K) is a potassium salt containing methylene chloride, a known carcinogen. Acesulfame-K is not the same thing as Aspartame, but quite often, BOTH are found in the same products. Reported side effects of sweet devil Acesulfame-K are frightening: Long term exposure to methylene chloride can cause nausea, headaches, mood problems, impairment of the liver and kidneys, problems with eyesight and possibly cancer. Acesulfame-K may contribute to hypoglycemia. #gross #gladIplexus #nomoresoda
