I think this question is better suited for the Chemistry Section.
I'm not sure how safe it is,but I also know there are some things in soda that is also used as a component in agricultural fertilizers.I rather make things at home,intead of getting processed foods.I know what goes into them,and how they are prepared.Processed foods are nothing but additives,artificial flavorings,and artificial sweeteners.You really don't know what you are eating when you eat processed foods.So many people don't really think about that,just the taste.
