American Cola 60cl vs Lipton Ice Tea

• High Fructose Corn Syrup (Sweetener) — Offers high sweetness at low cost but leads to rapid blood sugar spikes, promoting obesity, diabetes risk, and dental issues with frequent intake.
• Caramel Color (Color Additive) — Imparts the signature dark hue; while approved for use, certain caramel colors have been scrutinized for containing compounds potentially linked to cancer in animal studies, though typical exposure is low.
• Phosphoric Acid (Acidifier/Preservative) — Enhances flavor tanginess and shelf life but its acidity can damage tooth enamel over time and may leach calcium from bones when overconsumed.
• Caffeine (Stimulant) — Boosts mental alertness and provides a mild energy lift; excessive intake may lead to anxiety, sleep disturbances, dependency, and elevated blood pressure in some consumers.

• Sugar (Sweetener) — Supplies empty calories with high glycemic load leading to energy crashes, elevated diabetes and obesity risks, plus contribution to tooth decay.
• Brewed Tea Extract (Base/Antioxidant Source) — Delivers polyphenols and catechins with potential cardiovascular and anti-inflammatory benefits, plus mild natural caffeine for focus.
• Citric Acid (Acidulant/Flavor Enhancer) — Adds tartness and aids preservation; safe in moderation but frequent exposure may erode tooth enamel over time.
• Natural Flavors (Flavoring) — Provides fruit-like taste (e.g. lemon/peach); generally benign but undisclosed sources may pose issues for those with allergies or sensitivities.
• Potassium Sorbate (Preservative) — Inhibits microbial growth for shelf stability; FDA-approved as safe but rare reports of allergic reactions or skin irritation in sensitive consumers.
