Coca-Cola Zero Sugar Cans, 18 x 330ml

Product Information

Phosphoric acid – A colourless and odourless ingredient, phosphoric acid gives Coca Cola a tangy finish and an element of tartness. It can also act as a preservative. A high sugar content – Like the majority of non-diet fizzy drinks, Coca Cola contains vast amounts of sugar compared to many other soft drinks. In one 330ml can there is 35g of sugar. That is especially surprising when you consider the NHS recommends just 30g per day for people over 11! Coca-Cola Cherry – Just like the original but with a cherry twist, Cherry Coke was first launched in 1985. Before this time many cafes and bars were using cherry syrups and liquors to enhance plain colas.

Stimulates the mind – Coca Cola works in the same way as other drinks which contain caffeine. Both tea, coffee and coke can leave you feeling more awake and focused in the morning and throughout the day, in part that is down to the caffeine content. When you ingest caffeine, it increases your feelings of alertness and concentration. Sugar – The addition of sugar in Coca-Cola has a twofold purpose. On the one hand, it produces a pleasurable sensation in the mouth, on the other, it creates the sweetness that cola is known for. As you would expect, sugar is left out of the Diet and Zero Sugar varieties. Zero Sugar No Calories This product is GMO free This product is gluten free This product is allergen free This product is suitable for vegetarians/vegans Zero Sugar Cinnamon – Marketed as a Christmas drink in the UK and Europe, Zero Sugar Cinnamon was first available in 2018. It is infused with cinnamon flavour to reflect the season and is a good mixer drink.Zero Sugar Coke has always been marketed on the premise that it tastes more like real coke, with none of the calories. While it would seem to be healthier than sugar-rich drinks, some of the ingredients used may have negative effects on the body. Research carried out by Harvard University suggests that sweeteners can encourage weight gain in the long term. This is because the brain responds to sweet tastes by signalling us to eat more. They also found evidence of an increase in type 2 diabetes.

Caffeine-free – Developed for people who want to avoid sugar and caffeine, this caffeine-free drink tastes very much like the original Diet Coke and includes the same sweeteners. It was launched a year after Diet Coke in 1983, to compete with Pepsi Free, their main competitor’s caffeine-free drink. Exotic Mango – One of the first of a new crop of fruity variants on the original taste, Exotic Mango delivers a subtle hint of mango whilst retaining the same cola taste. It’s a nice alternative for those looking for a bit more sweetness than you find with regular diet coke. Energy booster – Although it won’t last longer than an hour, the ingredients in the original coke will deliver a sugar rush of pure energy very soon after being consumed. It might not be the ideal way of getting your body to respond, but it can give you the motivation to get going. We all know that it’s important to lower our intake of sugary drinks, but sometimes a glass of coke with ice is incredibly tempting. It is not all bad for fans of the drink however as there are ways it can also be of benefit to your body and wellbeing.

More From Coca-Cola

Natural flavourings – This part of the ingredient list remains sketchy as Coca Cola are unwilling to provide the details of their special formula. Based on historical accounts, it is likely the original recipe contained vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, coriander and orange. Coca Cola Energy – The only Coca Cola flavoured energy drink on the market, Coke Energy is an enhanced version of the original that provides even higher levels of stimulation. The caffeine is naturally sourced and joined by a vitamin B complex with guarana extracts.
