What Ingredients Are in Diet Soft Drinks?
Diet soft drinks entered the mainstream market in 1958 with a beverage called “Diet-Rite.” Other diet soft drinks, such as Tab, Fresca and Diet Coke soon followed behind. Ingredients in early diet soft drinks included artificial sweetener ingredients such as cyclamates and saccharine, both later linked to cancer and no longer used. Although according to MayoClinic.com, ingredients now included in diet soft drinks are not harmful to most people, it is still important to know what they are when these beverages are part of your diet.
