It is one of the most famous drinks in the world and the symbol of “sugar -free” choices. Coca-Cola Zero promises taste and lightness, but behind its “fit-friendly” image there is a list of ingredients that not everyone knows.
As always, nutritionist Angy Broes does not send them to say:
It is not because it is written zero which automatically becomes healthy. It is only different.
The ingredients: sugar no, sweeteners yes
The Coca-Cola Zero label seems harmless: water, carbon dioxide, dye (caramel sulfitomiacale), natural aromas, caffeine. The difference with the classic lies in the total absence of sugars … replaced by a combination of chemical sweeteners.
Very powerful, but not harmless sweets
The recipe includes three different sweeteners, all with sweetening power enormously higher than sucrose:
The nutritionist is clear:
They are not giving you the taste without consequences. They give it to you with another formula, and it is not said that it is kinder with your body.
The other ingredients
In addition to sweeteners, Coca-Cola Zero contains:
Habitual consumption can damage health
If you drink it once in a while it is not a problem, doing it every day can lead to a long list of side effects. The nutritionist lists them in no uncertain terms:
The problem is not the can every now and then – he explains – but when it becomes your daily water.
The truth? “Zero Zuccheri” does not mean “zero risks”
Coca-Cola Zero is not “healthier” than the classic: it is simply different. It does not raise blood sugar as sugar, but introduces other compounds which, if abused, can still damage health.
As Angy Bro says:
Feel your body, don’t satisfy it. Every now and again? All right. But don’t call it greet Just because it is zero.
Don’t you want to lose our news?
