- Caffeine: most lemon-lime sodas are caffeine free, but read the label.
- Sodium: the amount differs slightly by brand; the figure is printed on the can.
- PKU warning: drinks with aspartame carry a phenylalanine warning.
- Taste: sweeteners taste different to different people, so try a small pack first and serve it chilled.
Which is best for mixing?
Any zero-sugar lemon-lime soda can be used as a mixer; taste a small amount first. Drink responsibly.
Is diet lemon-lime soda healthy?
It has no sugar or calories, but WHO recommends against using non-sugar sweeteners to control body weight, so treat it as an occasional drink and keep water as your main choice.
