Hi, I may be mistaken, but I fairly sure that Tab has both aspartamene(sp?) & sacharine. I've friends with PKU, phenylketenuria(sp?), a disorder that makes them unable to metabolize phenylalanine. They can't have nutrasweet. They've been looking for yrs, but all the brand name sodas contain nutrasweet alone or in combo.
