Why Venezuela Banned Coke Zero
Posted by Tyler Sutherland
On Friday we reported that Venezuela had banned Coke Zero from the country — now we know why.
Officials claim the drink contains an artificial sweetener called sodium cyclamate. Coca-Cola Co. shot back at that claim, saying the product sold in Venezuela uses different artificial sweeteners, Acesulfame-K and Aspartame.
The company continues to dispute that their product is harmful to anyone’s health, but is respecting Venezuela’s ban.

I wouldnt be surprise and so shouldnt many Americans be. The fact that Coke or big US corporations produce a product that is bad for us and good for them has been proven time and time again. But they do make the product look attractive to fool us to buying it. Many Americans are just too dumb to know they are under control of these corporations and that the middle class is all dead because of them.
