Dr Pepper is a carbonated soft drink.

Pepper has a very unique flavor. I believe that it boasts of having 23 components ranging from cherry, to coriander, to cinnamon and blackberry. Its true composition is a secret, but Dr. Pepper insists that it does not contain prune juice, a long held myth.

According to HypeBeast, the difference is in the sweetening agent. While Diet Dr. Pepper is sweetened with aspartame, Dr. Pepper Zero Sugar is sweetened using a combination of aspartame and acesulfame potassium for a more syrupy, authentic Dr.

In conclusion, while Diet Dr Pepper isn't the worst beverage choice, it's certainly not the healthiest either. Moderation is key when consuming this beverage, as excessive consumption can lead to potential health risks.

It is very sweet, but also peppery. It has a hint of vanilla, but also a hint of citrus. It also has a slight nutty flavor.

What it pretty much comes down to is the flavor components. Coke is a cola with a very distinct cola flavor. Dr. Pepper is comprised of 23 different flavor components including cola, cherry, licorice, apricot, juniper, lemon, nutmeg, clove, and a bunch more.

Answer From Katherine Zeratsky, R.D., L.D. Drinking a reasonable amount of diet soda a day, such as a can or two, isn't likely to hurt you. The artificial sweeteners and other chemicals currently used in diet soda are safe for most people, and there's no credible evidence that these ingredients cause cancer.
