IAN: I didn't mean to imply that its being the 2nd or 3rd
ingredient gave us any measure of how much is in the can
of diet soda, or even what % of a can it consumes, just
that there is more of it than flavoring and other items,
so it's not insignificant relative to those other contents,
which are present in lower concentrations.

IAN: Well, I can't say that was a joke. For
example: if I consume a lot of oxidizing agents
(bad) and then I do *not* consume a lot of anti-
oxidizing, I get the full force of the bad
(minus endogenous anti-oxs), but if I consume
the bad *and* consume a lot of anti-oxidizing
agents (good), then the good counter the bad.
Is that not so?
