What can be found in soda?!


Question:

What can be found in soda?

I know sugar is in it!


Answers:
The ingredients are listed on every can and bottle.

You say: "I know sugar is in it!"

You are incorrect!

Most sodas do NOT contain sugar, most contain other sweeteners due to the higher cost of sugar, and most diet sodas contain an artificial sweetener.

The flavor of the soft drink comes from a mixture of citrus flavorings such as orange, lime and lemon and spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla. The name comes from the kola nuts that were originally used in early soft drinks as the source of caffeine.

Cola drinks may be sweetened with sugar, high fructose corn syrup, stevia or an artificial sweetener depending on product and market. Caffeine-free cola drinks are also available.

flavoring and carbonated water

yeah, they put High Fructose Corn Syrup in most soft drinks. i think it is so the drink has a longer shelf life....not sure if that is right. Caffeine is in a lot of soda's also. maybe fruit flavors, or concentrates....maybe vitamin c too. soda has calories too. and purified water also.
