Citric Acid + Sugar
Dental decay, enamel erosion
Artificial / Natural Flavor
Sensitivities, mild metabolic impacts
*All risk scores on Your Vending Health are subjective and based on our internal scoring system.

WHAT IS IT
A clear, lemon-lime flavored carbonated soda (no caffeine) made with water, sugar / corn syrup, citric acid, and flavoring.
BENEFITS
Refreshing and crisp, provides quick energy from sugar, no caffeine or artificial color in many versions.
DRAWBACKS
High in added sugars; acidity from citric acid can erode tooth enamel; lacks nutrients beyond calories; frequent consumption may contribute to metabolic strain.

CONSUMER NOTE
RESEARCH SUBTEXT
Water5 Essential, no risk.Water is safe and fundamental. Very low risk unless contaminated.
High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS)75Major sugar source; linked to overeating, obesity, metabolic issues.Excess consumption of HFCS is associated with increased risk of obesity, insulin resistance, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. The body processes some quantity fine, but high frequency or amounts are risky.
Cane Sugar80
Adds more “simple sugar” burden.
Frequent consumption of added sugar strongly correlated with obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease.
Citric Acid
25
Adds tartness; generally safe but can affect teeth enamel.
Recognized generally safe; in large exposure could cause minor dental erosion.
Lemon / Lime Flavor / Fragrance
40
Flavor component—adds taste but few benefits.
Flavor mixtures can include many compounds; possible for mild sensitivities or metabolic interactions.
