The sweetener in Diet Coke is called ‘aspartame,’ which is the main ingredient in artificial sweeteners like Equal and NutraSweet.
#DOES COKE ZERO HAVE CAFFEINE CRACKED#
Well, unfortunately those promises aren’t all they’re cracked up to be. After all, the promise of cutting down on sugar to lose weight, and reduce your risk of obesity and diabetes – that sounds like a good deal, right?

It’s easy to see why so many people were thrilled when diet sodas hit the market. That can of soda also packs 140 empty calories – meaning, you don’t get any nutrients from it. You probably already know that regular soda has a ton of sugar in it, which means you should steer clear of it at all costs – diabetic or not.įor example, a 12 ounce can of regular Coke contains 39 grams of sugar, all derived from high fructose corn syrup, which makes that a double no, no. Unfortunately, Coke Zero and other sugar free sodas are not a soda lover’s dream come true. You might be thinking that a sugar free soda sounds too good to be true. Coke Zero comes in several different flavors, including classic, vanilla, and cherry. It was marketed mostly towards men who wanted to enjoy the taste of a classic Coke with zero guilt. One thing that’s quite funny is that while Diet Coke has been around since the 1980’s, many men thought the title “diet” sounded a little too feminine and they weren’t interested in buying it. Coke Zero was launched in 2005 as a sugar free, low calorie alternative to regular coke.
