Coke - Zero —

I love Coke Zero!

I used to be a regular soda addict and Coke Zero is what got me to transition from regular to diet - and with Coke Zero I honestly can't tell that it's a 0 calorie drink. There's no nasty 'diet' metallic aftertaste and even my husband (a die-hard Coca Cola drinker) will have one every now and again. It really does have more of a 'regular cola' taste than anything else out there.

After over a year of drinking nothing but Coke Zero, Cherry Coke Zero and occasionally Vanilla Coke Zero, regular sodas just don't taste as good anymore. There's a definite difference between regular and Coke Zero, just as there's a definite difference between Diet and Coke Zero - but finding that happy medium is the best.

Coke Zero rocks! Now let's just hope that the aspartame in it doesn't have any long term health effects.

Hello everyone...

I have tried Diet Coke and wasn't a fan of it ... Once i discovered Coke Zero i became addicted... It was the only thing i used to drink other than water... Recently i started hearing rumors that its quite dangerous so i began doing some research into the matter... You see the reason the drink has no calories is because it has 'zero sugar', the problem with this is that instead of sugar it uses an artificial sweetener also known as Aspartame - this has shown to have a number of quite dangerous side effects and health complications such as numbness, tumors, body fits, irritation etc.. i was always a skeptic of the drink- not for the side effects but for its lack of calories. I conducted research and was pleased to find that it was true the calories are low, however the risks aren't. I had started getting numbness in my toes and was blaming it on a pedicure which scared the hell out of me until i found out about the coke.. I have recently stopped drinking it and find that the numbness has started going away...
But either way I may be wrong.. I just felt a need to share this information as i find it terrifying...
just look into it yourselves and make your own decisions because your health is worth the bother!!!
