Jeffrey Jaime compares Coke Zero and Diet Coke: Coke Zero has slightly less caffeine and tastes more like regular cola, using aspartame and acesulfame potassium as sweeteners. The video addresses whether these ingredients are actually dangerous, using examples like acetaldehyde and bee venom to show how toxins can exist in things people use anyway.
Aspartame and acesulfame potassium (Ace K).
Some people ask me about the difference between Coke Zero and Diet Coke. And there is a difference. Okay. Coke Zero not only has slightly less caffeine than Diet Coke, which is probably a plus if you don't want to over consume caffeine. And I will admit it does have a more authentic cola flavor than Diet Coke does, if you're looking for that nostalgic Coca Cola feel. But the Coke Zero is actually sweetened with a combination of aspartame and acesulfamine potassium. Acesulfamine potassium, or as is sometimes called, Ace K. Yes, alcohol is a poison, or namely the byproduct of alcohol. Acetaldehyde is a poison, but that doesn't mean it's bad for you. Right? Some poisons, some toxins are good for you. There's even people who do like bee venom therapy.
