	NOTES: 1. DPSG = Doctor Pepper Snapple Group (formerly Cadbury-Schweppes) 2. Some brands are inconsistant - the carbs listed on the can depend upon WHICH CAN you happen to pick up - Dr. Pepper, Mountain Dew, Sprite, etc. 3. DPSG SUCKS - you must download their NutritionalInfo.PDF, then compute the value for a 12 oz. can, to get the nutritional information. This information does NOT agree with the can labels. In addition, they do NOT list the amounts of artificial sweeteners used. 4. Coca-Cola is good - Coca-Cola Nutrition Data 5. Pepsico is excellent - Pepsi Product Information 6. Bromine - Brominated vegetable oil
