Coca-Cola clarified that Coke Zero and Diet Coke do not contain the sugar replacement called erythritol but instead have aspartame.

According to Coca-Cola's official website, aspartame is used in some of its products including Coke Zero Sugar, Diet Coke, Diet Coke Feisty Cherry, Diet Barq’s, Fanta Zero, Fresca, Gold Peak Diet Tea, Mello Yello Zero, Minute Maid Light, Pibb Zero, Seagrams Ginger Ale Zero Sugar, and Sprite Zero.

Erythritol is found naturally in some foods like wine, beer, and even cheese when they ferment.

However, it is not present in Coke Zero.

No Erythritol in Coke Zero

Aspartame is just as bad if not worse.

Aspartame isn’t exactly a great alternative either... but thanks for the follow-up.

Isn’t aspartame known to cause brain tumors?

Or, at least that was the buzz several years ago.
