It contains no sugar, but it has aspartame and acesulfame(ace-k) these materials are much more dangerous than sugar. Aspartame some researchers have fingered aspartame as a cancer agent.

Question!
It has no sugar.
Aspartame and acesulfame potassium are about 200 times as sweet as sugar(sucrose).

Don't give your self false hope

The truth is Various studies have proven that routine consumption of diet soft drinks, like diet coke, coke zero and other similar products, can be connected to a greater risk of heart disease, developing Type 2 Diabetes and metabolic syndrome.27....

So cut off soft drinks, sugar...and drink lemonade wink or yoghurts
Corrrelation is not equal to causation.
Zero coke has no direct means to cause heart diseases, diabetes etc.

You're ignorant, aspartate which they use is sweet and even worse than sugar
That's debatable if not baseless. There are no conclusive evidence to back such claims. Infact multiple studies/ health authorities have pointed to artificial sweetners being a better option than sugar, it may even have some benefits. Nonetheless, people are urged only to take it in moderation. That said, Stop scorning people you barely know for no good reason, it makes you look so stupid and immature.

Cut out or reduce your sugar intake to the barest minimum, or you’re heading for diabetes.
Increase your water intake.
One bitter kola per day will be good for you.
Also, have your blood sugar level checked.

Eating excess sugar doesn't cause diabetes.

Your research might be a bit distorted by the negative conspiracy theories arou d artificial sweeteners.

aspartic acid and phenylalanine are the 2 main ingredients of Aspartame. Theses are ingredients you would find in many fruits and foods you consume daily.

You would need to drink 15 bottles of diet Coke in a day before it can become harmful

Thanks for this. The level of confident ignorance here is shocking

Honestly, if a product is termed zero sugar and eventually it has even a bit concentration of suger should attract severe penalty from the Food and Drug Regulatory Agencies because of the consequences it might cause a diabetic patient.


I believe the regulatory agency cannot act feign to such .

Thanks for saying this. Ignorance is costly.
What is in zero sugar is even worse than sugar.
21st century sophistication comes with a lot of undoing. You use your own hard earned money to buy things harmful to you in the long run based on erroneous adverts and commercials meant to drive revenue. No time in history has information been so largely available yet knowledge so scarce.

Exactly! The fact still remains there is no evidence to suggest aspertame is worse than sugar, in fact, reverse is the case.

too much intake of sugar ISN'T what causes diabetes as many people erroneously think! Diabetes is caused by the inability of the body via the pancreas to produce enough insulin to breakdown sugar appropriately thereby leading to increased sugar in the blood. Blacks are mostly at risk and diabetes is mainly hereditary.

The most commonly used artificial sweeteners are sucralose, aspartame and sorbitol.
Re: Is "Zero Sugar" Coke Without Sugar? by pacespot(m): 2:14pm On Sep 12, 2021
I prefer the sugar in the original Coke itself because Coke is gaseous, so the sugar in it is easily breakable for your body. I don't feel much like I've taken a sugar when I drink Coke unlike when I drink Fanta, Mirinda, or 7up

True. Aspartame, ACK, and other artificial sweeteners are hundreds of time sweeter than sugar which is worse than sugar.

So anyone drinking zero sugar thinking they're taking something good for their health is a Joker. It simply means no sugar, and replaced with other sweeteners that are harmful.

True….they are called artificial sweeteners. Examples are aspartame, xylitol,sorbitol, saccharin etc
They are way sweeter than sugar. I think saccharin is 600 times sweeter than table sugar(sucrose).
Artificial sweeteners are believed not to spike up your sugar level like the natural sugars. That is why some people believe is a healthier option although consumption of artificial sweeteners over a long period of time has effects too.

Pls madam can I get a link on this aspartame research because the last time I checked about aspartame I discovered that it has no effect on the body since the digestive system cannot break it down it goes into the body and comes out as a waste product. It is only added to product to give it that desirable taste. Pls you know we learn everyday. Thanks.

This is one of the links that made me unconvinced about taking aspartame products.

This is just an online theory that aspartame is not safe for consumption without proof.
American FDA(food and drug administration) has approved it, same with UK and other develop countries. If it isn't safe they want have approved it.(You can Google it to confirm).
You can also share us a link of someone who is suffering from Sweetener intake in thier drink.
Sweeteners are safe for consumption to me until there is a proof other wise.
Re: Is "Zero Sugar" Coke Without Sugar? by Jamesbiodun(m): 2:46pm On Sep 12, 2021
As bitter as Big stout is as higher the sugar in it, don't ever trust all those soft drink.

Further research is needed to determine the exact effects of Coke Zero and other diet beverages on your health. Coke Zero and other diet sodas are linked to alterations in the gut microbiome and an increased risk of osteoporosis and heart and kidney disease.
