Liquid Death Killer Cola — TREAT

Munch or Dump rates Liquid Death Killer Cola by Liquid Death TREAT — score 45/90.

A cola with five ingredients and 2 grams of sugar — that's about as clean as soda gets. But agave plus stevia is still a sweetener stack, and agave is mostly fructose, the sugar your liver likes least. A far better swap than Pepsi; still a sweet drink, not water.

Why this verdict

• Five recognizable ingredients — no artificial colors, preservatives, or synthetic sweeteners anywhere
• Multiple sweeteners detected — agave nectar + stevia leaf extract means the sweetness is engineered, not simple
• Only 2g sugar and 10 calories per can, roughly 90% less than a regular cola
• Agave nectar is ~85% fructose — low glycemic on paper, but fructose is processed by the liver, so it's not a free pass
• 'Natural flavor' is a proprietary black box, though a small one here

Ingredients (5)

• Carbonated Water (safe) — The base — the only part of the name that's fully honest.
• Agave Nectar (moderate) — Added sugar that is ~85% fructose — gentle on blood glucose readings, but fructose is metabolized by the liver. Only 2g here, so the dose keeps it tame.
• citric acid (safe) — Benign acidity regulator paired with the TBHQ.
• Natural flavor (moderate) — Undisclosed flavoring; natural-sourced but still a lab-blended ingredient.
• Stevia leaf extract (moderate) — Second sweetener in the stack — refined plant-derived, fine alone, but here it's part of a designed sweetness system.
