How can Diet Dr. Pepper have 0 calories?

DipStick · May 24, 2003

I dont see how DDP is essentially the same as water when it comes to calories. It is sweet, which to me suggests sugar of some sort, which in turn would require some sort of calories. I just dont understand how my favorite Diet drink can truly have zero calories. Someone explain

The chemicals that produce it cannot be processed by the body, thus they cannot be burned for energy. The sweet taste is simply a chemical reaction. It can be replicated without sugar.
