Don’t most sodas have corn syrup and stuff instead of sugar?

Most of the smaller soda brands in the US use sugar, too. Just the big boys still using corn syrup at this point.

You probably meant sucrose. Sucralose is a calorie-free sweetener.

And, as a quick aside, a side effect of the sweetener is to damage DNA.
