Mexican Coke Zero drops controversial sweetener

Coca-Cola has reformulated the Mexican version of Coca-Cola Zero, removing a controversial artificial sweetener that is banned in the United States and caused an outcry from consumer advocates in Mexico.

The company said the change will give the diet drink a taste closer to that of Coca-Cola Classic, and had nothing to do with concerns over sodium cyclamate, a sweetener banned in the United States 39 years ago by the Food and Drug Administration after lab findings suggested cyclamate posed a cancer risk.”*
