Coke Zero question--please answer!?!


Question: Coke Zero question--please answer!!?
Just because it says 'Zero,' does not mean it has no calories, so don't "duh" me on this one--it's called marketing!.

I read the label, and while it's fabulous that it tastes good (to me) and has virtually nothing in it, it leaves me wondering what the hell I'm putting into my body!.

10 points best answer to whoever can link me to a site that explains what's really in it, calorie count, and what's unhealthy or healthy about it!.

I really appreciate it!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Basically if your body can't break it down than it would not be listed as containing calories, but that doesn't mean its good because it wouldn't be processed as easily also!. So it is recommended in moderation, and usually quantities of ingredients such as artificial sweeteners don't dramatically affect you being the quantity is minimal!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Hot on the heels of Diet Coke With Splenda comes Coca-Cola Zero!. Coke Zero is sweetened with aspartame and acesulfame potassium (ace-k) and has zero calories!. The only chemical difference between Coke Zero and Diet Coke is that Coke Zero has about half the aspartame but has more ace-k!.

Confused anyone!? It's a marketing thing - Coke have manufactured a "diet" coke without using the word diet!.!.!. which in their eyes will appeal to a different demographic!.

So how many flavors of Coke are there now!?
