Hey /fit/, so what's the difference between Diet Coke and Coke Zero?
They both say they have no sugar, except Diet Coke tastes crap while Coke Zero is nice. I always assumed Coke Zero just has more caffeine but I've got no idea

So what's the difference and what one's better for you?

They have different artificial sweeteners.
Light = Sucralose
Zero = Aspartame (enjoy your cancer)

Their sweetners (aspartic acid?) are used from the chemicals of dead animal's carcasses. I remember reading that much.

After something is processed it resembles something else entirely. Most of what you eat comes from corn- that's maize for you brits.

Yeah, if you eat your body weight in anything a day every day for half your life span, you will die of it. That's how they determine rats get cancer from things. By ODing them every day. No shit they get sick.

Don't drink either, or sodas for that matter. Drink water.

There was a study that just came out that found that rats given foods with artifical sweetners actually ate more and more often and gained weight, than those that were given food sweetened with pure sugar. Aparently when your body registers sweetness, it thinks its going to get calories. If it doesn't receive the calories, it tries to get them elsewhere, usually by eating more.

Of course the artifical sweetner companies say that is complete bunk, and are sticking to the calories in - calories out stance.

And that study was sponsored by sucralose producers.

Like Paracelsus said "the dose makes the poison". All too much of anything is bad for you. If anything, just look the nice black color of these cokes you drink, then look at the color of your piss. Where do you think all that black nice goo gets stored at?
Enjoy your kidney failure, specially if you have a thing for tubes shoved up your urethra.

Who ever drinks Coke/pop to squelch the thirst is a fucking morAn imo. Since when it is a good thing for body to eat 10 spoons of sugar in just under 2 minutes?

OP here, didn't realise this thread would still be here, I made it hours ago.

I do drink water, a lot. I drink 4 500ml cups of water a day to get to 2ltrs and I only ever normally have coke or something similar on a Weekend, but still having my 2ltrs of water.

It's not like I only drink the stuff anyway, but would you say this is still healthy anyway, only having it at weekends?

diet coke uses the "new" coke formula with an artificial sweetener.

coke zero uses the classic coke formula with some other coke sweetener.

also artificial sweeteners don't give you cancer. it's a myth that is propagated by the filthy news. There was ONE study back in the fucking 80's that came to this conclusion.
SIX subsequent studies have come up with zilch. In any case artificial sweeteners are certainly healthier than 28 grams of high frucose corn syrup.

Also, just drink water fag.

As healthy as smoking just one cigarette on weekends

Best option is water anyway. Throw out all cokes you have, as the urge to drink one will be strong after a few days of not drinking it.

I've been like this for about a year now, only drinking coke at weekends at night while watching TV, sometimes a beer instead, and drinking water all the other time.

I did however used to be like that and really feel the need to get myself a drink of coke, but that was before I started drinking water. Now however I sometimes feel that way with chocolate, but I just try to eat fruit instead, or have a small chocolate bar as well as a piece of fruit and water.
