Quotes from : http://www.7up.com/7uptext/7upfaq.asp
.... 7UP has always been made with the highest quality ingredients ... removed any artificial ingredients in Regular 7UP and ensured that all of the remaining ingredients are 100% natural.
.... 7UP is now 100% natural because numerous consumers told us they wanted a carbonated soft drink with natural ingredients that still delivered the same great taste of 7UP that they have come to love.
.... The ingredients in 7UP made with 100% natural ingredients are: filtered carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup, natural flavors, natural citric acid and natural potassium citrate.
..... included only 100% natural ingredients; removed the Calcium Disodium EDTA, a flavor preservative; and reduced the sodium content in the 12-ounce can from 75mg to 40mg – almost a 50% reduction.
Potassium is an essential mineral macronutrient in human nutrition; it is the major cation (positive ion) inside animal cells, and it is thus important in maintaining fluid and electrolyte balance in the body. Potassium is found in a wide range of foods. Many fruits and vegetables are high in potassium and low in sodium and, as discussed, help prevent hypertension. Most of the potassium is lost when processing or canning foods, while less is lost from frozen fruits or vegetables.

Good question... Scary answer lol
“We’re proud to be the first mainstream carbonated soft drink brand to address consumer demand for a great tasting lemon-lime soft drink made from 100% natural ingredients,” said Randy Gier, CMO for Cadbury Schweppes Americas Beverages, in a statement.
The new 7 Up, which started rolling out on April 1, is made from five ingredients that the company described as all natural: carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup, citric acid, natural flavors and potassium citrate.
Other ingredients, such as the artificial flavor preservative calcium disodium EDTA have been removed, Cadbury-Schweppes said.
The soft drink has also reduced its sodium content in its 12-oz. cans, from 75 milligrams to 40.
Potassium Citrate may be used to control Uric acid kidney stones.
Chemical Formula: C6H5K3O7 + H2O
Appearance: A white, slightly hygroscopic crystalline powder. It is odourless with a saline taste.
Uses: Potassium Citrate is rapidly absorbed when given by mouth and is excreted in the urine as the Carbonate. It is, therefore, effective in reducing pain and frequency of micturition when these are caused by highly acid urine. It is used for this purpose in dogs and cats, but is chiefly employed as a non-irritating diuretic. In common with other substances which render the urine alkaline, it may be used to reduce the danger of crystalluria during sulfonamide therapy. Potassium Citrate is usually administered by mouth in dilute aqueous solution.
