Is Sprite Alkalizing or Acid Forming?

[j.]

Citric acid, despite being an acid, has an alkalizing effect on the body (it tends to increase pH).

Since Sprite has citric acid, I wonder what's its overall effect. It does have also some acid forming substances such as sugar and carbon dioxide.

Drinking sprite never felt right to me, although I like the taste a lot.

This may be why:

Industrial grade citric acid is a serious allergen for some people, because it contains contaminants that aren't in natural fruit citric acid

YMMV

From glass bottles?

I must admit, I haven't tried drinking it from a glass bottle.
