The current Canadian formulation contains both aspartame (124 mg/355 ml) and acesulfame potassium Acesulfame potassium is a calorie-free artificial sweetener, also known as Acesulfame K or Ace K , and marketed under the trade names Sunett and Sweet One. In the European Union, it is known under the E number (additive code) E950[citation needed]. It was discovered accidentally in 1967 by German chemist Karl Clauss at Hoechst AG (now Nutrinova) (32 mg/355 ml)[citation needed]. Pepsi does not list on its United States labeling the exact amount of aspartame/Nutrasweet present.

Health concerns
Pepsi Light bottle from GermanyAs a carbonated beverage, Diet Pepsi shares many of the same health effects A soft drink is a drink that typically contains no alcohol, though may contain small amounts (typically less than 0.5% by volume) and is usually referred to as a sugary drink. Soft drinks are often carbonated and commonly consumed while chilled or at room temperature. Some of the most common soft drinks include cola, flavored water, sparkling as other carbonated soft drinks. Diet Pepsi contains potassium benzoate, but does not contain ascorbic acid Ascorbic acid is a sugar acid with antioxidant properties. Its appearance is white to light-yellow crystals or powder, and it is water-soluble. One form of ascorbic acid is commonly known as vitamin C. The name is derived from a- and scorbutus (scurvy), the disease caused by a deficiency of vitamin C. In 1937 the Nobel Prize for chemistry was or erythorbic acid like many carbonated beverages. As the combination of potassium benzoate to ascorbic acid is linked to the formation of benzene in soft drinks Benzene in soft drinks is the occurrence of the carcinogenic chemical benzene in certain soft drinks. This contamination is a public health concern and has caused significant outcry among environmental and health advocates. Benzene levels are regulated in drinking water nationally and internationally, and in bottled water in the United States, but, this greatly reduces that possibility in Diet Pepsi.
Since the artificial sweetener in Diet Pepsi, aspartame Aspartame (pronounced /ˈæspərteɪm/ or /əˈspɑrteɪm/) is the name for an artificial, non-saccharide sweetener used as a sugar substitute in many foods and beverages.

Aspartame is the methyl ester of a phenylalanine/aspartic acid dipeptide, contains the amino acid Amino acids are molecules containing an amine group, a carboxylic acid group and a side chain that varies between different amino acids. These molecules contain the key elements of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen. These molecules are particularly important in biochemistry, where this term refers to alpha-amino acids with the general formula phenylalanine Phenylalanine is an α-amino acid with the formula HO2CCH(NH2)CH2C6H5. This essential amino acid is classified as nonpolar because of the hydrophobic nature of the benzyl side chain. L-Phenylalanine (LPA) is an electrically-neutral amino acid, one of the twenty common amino acids used to biochemically form proteins, coded for by DNA. The codons, it should not be consumed by individuals that suffer the metabolic disorder phenylketonuria Phenylketonuria is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder characterized by a deficiency in the hepatic enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH).:541 This enzyme is necessary to metabolize the amino acid phenylalanine ('Phe') to the amino acid tyrosine. When PAH is deficient, phenylalanine accumulates and is converted into phenylpyruvate (also known.
