The "Next" Generation: Pepsi's Latest Concoction

On March 26th of this year, Pepsi introduced a brand new product on the market. It is called Pepsi Next, and is marketed as having 60% less sugar than regular Pepsi. This at first may seem like a happy medium between sugar sweetened Pepsi and Diet Pepsi, as it contains much less sugar while not having the zero calorie label on it. However, the situation is quite the opposite.

It seems that at the expense of sugar, Pepsi has instead included aspartame in Pepsi Next. And Sucralose. And Acesulfame Potassium. Most diet drinks include one or two of these substances, but this seemingly toxic combination of the three has truly brought us into a new era. This product is also being tested in flavors such as vanilla, cherry, and mango.

Since this drink has only been on the market since March, it cannot be concluded with certainty that there would be any newfound health risks by ingesting three of the worst non-nutritive sweeteners. We can only advise the reader to think carefully about what they are putting into their body.

Protect your health, drink water!
