Sugar Free is better than Zero.
No Aspartame.
What's wrong with aspartame? Please, only scientific sources. No conspiracies.
I see google is broken again eh?
Frucking Google, you'd assume they'd be able to keep their service up so when people have questions, which could lead to months of trawling data, they'd be able to do it. Ah well.
For me personally, headaches, clinically diagnosed ADD, and irritates IBS.
I'm sure, once google works for you again, you'll be able to do some research and decide if your body has any reactions to it.
Thanks for your scientific sources. I really hate when people start their argument with personal attack and then provide anecdotal evidence to support their argument.
@lubos: So google's back up?
And you're welcome. Anecdotal evidence is always best. Proves someone has experienced it first hand.
Headaches and IBS are well documented, even in the "debunk the myths, its A-OK" sources.
or are you being facetious?
Yeah, I have researched aspartame and came to conclusion it's safer than any other artificial sweetener on the market. The reason is that due to controversies and public pressure, aspartame is the most tested food additive ever.
If aspartame causes problems to you, then don't consume it. From my personal experience, I had periods of time when I was consuming aspartame and have observed no side-effects.
The reason I don't consume artificial sweeteners in general is because studies say that they increase appetite for calories (animal testing). This would explain why nobody ever got skinny by drinking a diet coke.
@lubos:
"If aspartame causes problems to you, then don't consume it."
And that's all I ever suggested.
Both include aspartame according to Red Bull: http://energydrink.redbull.com/ingredients-red-bull-sugarfre…
I'm literally holding a can. "Sugar Free" does not. I also have a can of Zero which I bought yesterday before reading the ingredients; and it does.
200% sure, honest to god, I have a"sugar free red bull" right here.
"Sucralose" (splenda), and Acesulfame potassium
a lot of companies have finally fled from Aspartame. Too many food allergies with it. Mainly headaches are reported.
Kirks is OK, and so is LA-ICE, ditto one of the ice tea brands, but not the other (might be lipton?)
Seriously? You bought Red Bull Zero yesterday? I thought you've stopped consuming aspartame long ago due to side-effects you've reported.
@lubos:
Begin to doubt your own research mate, you selectively read it seems. You might have missed something.
To simplify; allow me to copy and paste part of my post;
"I bought yesterday before reading the ingredients"
Too much?
"before reading the ingredients"
Since my vision is not 20/20, and the font is about point 4, I wasn't carrying my magnifier, so I made an assumption.
I foolishly made the assumption that if "Sugar Free" had removed it, so had Zero. I was wrong.
Which is the opposite for Woolworths brand Cola; "Sugar Free" has it, and "Zero" does not.
Lesson learned.
If you go to Australian site of Red Bull, it doesn't list aspartame as an ingredient.

Stand corrected. Thanks lubos.
I am always wondering if posts like these are redundant. The only people who are going to take advantage are those who happen to be at North Sydney station, and they'd see the promotion for themselves. Is anyone really going to travel to North Sydney for a free sugar free Red Bull, or am I underestimating ozbargainers? haha
Underestimating.
When I visited Sydney I saw a few of these and went for a walk.
Saved me about $10 in drinks and food at the small cost of walking, which I was doing anyway to see things!
You underestimate what great lengths OzBargainers would go for deals, let alone freebies.
haha fair enough! The most 'ozbargainy' thing I have done was get a mate to bring a high-vis shirt to work so we could get free KFC on 'tradies day' a few years ago. So I guess it's not out of the ordinary to go out of your way for something free.
Happens all the time here, our work colleagues would come in and say "hey there was free X at Street Y" and if its close enough I'll bolt
Got one on the way to work
