Tag: Cola debate

According to one study, Coca-Cola has a pH of 2.52 and Pepsi has a pH of 2.53, a difference so minuscule it is effectively meaningless. The truth is that for all practical purposes, Pepsi is as acidic as Coke, with both possessing an extremely low pH that can have significant effects on health, particularly dental enamel.

According to nutritional data for a standard 12-ounce can, Pepsi contains 41 grams of sugar, which is two grams more than the 39 grams found in a can of Coca-Cola. This subtle difference is central to the long-standing debate over what drink has more sugar, coke or pepsi.
