Sprite Zero & Coke Zero

What are your thoughts?

I think I don't like the way Coke Zero tastes.  I do drink diet soft drinks though- in moderation.  Some of them have a ton of sodium, and some of the diet sweetners (notably Splenda) give me migraines.  If I stick to the stuff I don't react badly too, I can have me a soda any time I want... and that's the way I like it.

In my opinion, Coke Zero tates amazing.

However, it bloated me up like nothing else ever has.  For a good week I looked pregnant and felt terrible.

I avoid all pop, including diet, because they are bad for you.  Diet soda made me bloated too, but for some reason Coke Zero was the WORST.

The reason why i asked is because i have sprite zero. I love it. It has zero everything & only 35mg of sodium.

But my bf won't let me drink more than one a day because he says that there's a catch somewhere in there.

What are your thoughts?

Um, when is lunch? Boy could I go for a nice juicy burger, maybe have extra pickles too.......

Oh, about the Coke Zero and Sprite Zero....... my thoughts are as follows:

1.they are pop

2.they taste good

3.I want one right now

lol @ bill

They are great!. I am just afraid there will be a long term effect there. Who knows.

Ooooo I hadn't seen Sprite Zero yet!  I'll have to look for that.  I love Coke Zero, and especially Cherry Zero.  Never had trouble with bloating, like one of the other posters did.  However, I do think, like your boyfriend, that there must be a catch somewhere.  :)  Such super-processed products must have some kind of a health consequence.  Hopefully it's not something terribly serious, though.

I noticed the same thing. Coke Zero made me bloat up like a balloon. I love it though, but won't consume it for that reason alone.

I actually like the sprite zero because it helps me relieve some gas LMAO. sorry TMI. But i love burping. I guess that's not so lady like. =]

I checked the ingredients and i have no idea what half of them are;

INGREDIENTS:
Carbonated water, citric acid, natural flavors, potassium citrate, potassium benzoate (to protect taste), aspartame*, acesulfame potassium.

*Phenylketonurics: Contains phenylalinine

Very Low Sodium

0 Carbs
0 Caffeine
0 Sugar

the long term catch is diet sodas cause cancer and other health hazards like that. i dont drink them. aspertame turns to formaldahyde (check spelling) in the body and has been linked to seizures in humans

have fun drinking your poison!

The words you're missing out on dxdxRamone are 'can' 'may' and 'in extreme doses in laboratory subjects'.

 

I don't even want to get into everything that 'can' cause cancer.  

I love the taste of Sprite Zero. I don't like the taste of Coke Zero because it tastes so much like the regulare coke. And there is WAY to much sugar in regular soda for me! I can't digest that kind of sugar. So I usually stick with the diet soda. Right now I only drink a very cheap soda called Diet Dr. Thunder that Wal-Mart sells. I buy it because it's the cheapest out there and it sucks being poor!

Definitely love Coke Zero! I'm no scientist, but I'm pretty sure a diet drink sweetened with aspartame is fine once in a while. Like what tehlazykat was getting at...what doesn't cause cancer these days?

coke zero is pretty good so is sprite zero but coke zero has more of a bloating effect and i hate it; therefore i hardly ever drink it unless im going to the movies or something like that...
