What is the difference between Diet Coke and Coke Zero?!

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

Well, the difference between diet coke and coke zero is that diet coke is only sweetened with aspartame ( a dangerous sugar substitute that is dangerous in a short and long scale with 92 side effects) and the formula is different from the original non diet coke which is the same formula of the coke zero. And also the coke zero is sweetened with a mixture of aspartame ( the bad sugar substitute) and acesulfame potassium which is another sugar substitute which is approved by the FDA making it ''the good sugar' but i'm not still convinced of that statement'. In addition, the diet coke is more associated with woman and their diets so coke zero has a ''masculinity'' promotion as in the ''diet coke for men''.

Hope it helped!!

My own! I did a research on energy drinks,soft drinks ( soda,pop,) and their energy outputs.

We asked nutritionist Amanda Johnson to respond.

“Coke Zero and Diet Coke are actually very similar. Both are low calorie drinks and have exactly the same ingredients – carbonated purified water, colour (caramel 150d), food acids (338 and 331), flavour, artificial sweeteners aspartame (951) and acesulphame potassium (950), preservative (211) and caffeine. The key difference between the two drinks is in the proportions of these ingredients, giving each has a slightly different flavour profile.

There is a little difference in nutrient content: both provide less than 4kJ energy (nothing) and have less than 40mg sodium per 250ml (1 cup). So, between these two choices, it’s really a matter of which one you prefer! If you are watching your sugar and energy intake, either of these will be better than the standard Coca Cola, which contains 450kJ and 26g of sugar in 250ml.

In general terms though, when thinking about what to drink, it’s recommended that we have plenty of water, and that we have an overall fluid intake equivalent to 6-8 glasses daily. Low fat milk is a good choice as an alternative to water or soft drinks. High-sugar drinks such as fruit juice, cordial, energy drinks and soft drinks should be limited, and if you’re susceptible to the effects of caffeine, it’s a good idea to minimise consumption of coffee, tea and other caffeinated drinks such as Coca Cola.”

If you look at the nutrition facts they are the exact same. I personally think that Coke Zero tastes better. But I could be an idiot and they both taste the same.

coke zero has zero calories

Diet coke has calories but less than regular and zero has no calories.

They are basically the same.
