Is Coke Zero ok to drink?

I thought Coke Zero has zero sugar and zero fat that's why I had almost one everyday in the past week. My tummy is now bloated. Is coke zero just as bad as other carbonated drinks? How about Coke Diet Zero?

For certain definitions of zero.

Coke Zero has no calories, but it also has no nutritional value, and does have caffeine. It also has artificial sweeteners which you may or may not want inside your body.

If you're craving a soda, you could do worse than Coke Zero :)

Here's the basic difference between Coke Zero and Diet Coke (according to my husband who did some research on it).  Remember back in the 70s or 80s (I can't remember which), Coca-Cola came out with the "New Coke" which was a new recipe and there was a huge outcry so they took it off the market.  Well, Diet Coke is basically made from the "New Coke" recipe (0 calorie version) while Coke Zero is made from the original Coca-Cola recipe (0 calorie version).  My husband prefers Coke Zero over Diet Coke, but I can't really taste much difference.

Coke Zero is an Aspartame/Acesulfame potassium sweetened diet coke.  As a cola, maybe the worst thing about it is that Coke Zero, like al colas, is linked to lower bone mineral density in women.  (AKA if you are a women and you drink a cola you will have lower BMD).

Other then that Coke Zero has 1.76 calories per 12 ounce can.
