Like, the nutrition facts table says it contains nothing other than some sodium. No sugars or fats or calories at all

Yet it clearly is edible, so what is it? Some concoction made mostly from indigestible minerals?

    This is not correct.

    Diet Coke definitely still uses aspartame and not sucralose.

          I see that the study uses 48mg sucralose in 60ml water amounting to 0.8g/liter.

          My Cola recipe with pure sucralose uses 0.167g/liter this should be equivalent to normal soda sweetness of 100g sugar/liter.

          The issue I had with sucralose was that it seemed to go out of solution in the syrup that’s why my current Cola recipe uses a mix of sucralose/saccharin/stevia in the ratio of 30/30/40 which amounts to 0.05g sucralose/liter so if I drink 1 liter of soda I’ll get the same amount as their study.

          The reason I continue to use sucralose is that it rounds out the flavor of saccharin and stevia.

        So, what you meant to say was that there also exists a version of diet coke with sucralose instead of aspartame?
