Diet Soda

I drink about a can or two a day and have lost close to 40 pounds. No it's not healthy at all for you, but just make sure you keep up with your calories. 2 cans equals about 340 cals so you will only be able to eat around 1500 or less calories depending on what your caloric intake is per day. The simple answer is anything in moderation will be okay.

Coke is safe to drink if you require a Gluten Free diet and do not react to less than 200 ppm of gluten.

The Coca-Cola company makes this statement on their website:

"We are able to confirm that, in the U.S. and Canada, the following products are gluten free:

Coca-Cola classic caffeine free Coca-Cola classic Coca-Cola Blak Coca-Cola Black Cherry Vanilla Coca-Cola C2 Coca-Cola with Lime Coca-Cola Zero Barq's root beer caffeine free Barq's root beer diet Barq's root beer diet Barq's Red Creme Soda Diet Coke Black Cherry Vanilla Diet Coke Diet Coke with Lime caffeine free Diet Coke Diet Coke Sweetened with Splenda Sprite Diet Sprite Zero Cherry Coke Diet Cherry Coke Fresca DASANI Lemon Minute Maid Light Lemonade Simply Lemonade Simply Limeade POWERade Mountain Blast and 100% of juice products (without added ingredients) are gluten free.

Additionally, we can tell you that all of our other products meet Codex's definition of gluten-free, which is currently less than 200 ppm (parts per million) (0.02%) gluten. Codex is in the process of reviewing this standard and we are monitoring the progress closely. At this time the U.S. Food and Drug Administration does not have a regulatory definition of gluten-free."

NOTE: The standard has been revised downward to 20ppm instead of 200ppm, although full compliance is not required until 2012. The current proposed standard of the FDA that has the most support is also 20ppm of gluten for a GF product.

Diet soda doesn't have sugar. It has sugar substitute like nutrasweet or aspartame.

Since it is a coca cola product it can be mostly found at any American walmarts.

Yes

PepsiCo's target market can be people of all ages because of their wide range of products: they include Gatorade, Lays, Tropicana, and Quaker, and their products are classified under many categories. Their target market is very diverse.

carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup, caramel colour, sugar, caffeine, citric acid, and natural flavours.

Sprite Zero contains no nutrients except a small amount of sodium. This means that it is not unhealthy, but also is not nutritious in any form. It goes right through you and you'll have to pee about 10 minutes later. But if it's just flavor you're going for, then it's fine.

Diet soda usually has acid as one of its ingredients ... that's how carbonated sodas of any kind create and maintain their fizz in bottles and cans. (Fountain sodas are carbonated in a different fashion, although the syrup usually still contains acid for flavor.) This acid can erode the enamel in teeth, usually in the form of scratches in the enamel.

If you really had access to serious lab equipment, a mass spectrometer would do the trick quite easily. As far as something one could do with basic items pretty cheaply, a diabetes glucose testing kit could probably work. The strips are used to measure glucose (a sugar) levels; sugary soft drinks' high fructose corn syrup is about 45% glucose, so it should work. Dip the drip in the soda and stick it in the machine to register it. If it registers any glucose, it's not sugarless. If it registers no glucose, it's sugarless. Keep in mind that these units are used to measure concentrations of sugar in the human blood, so it's possible you'd get an error if you tried a sample as sugary as normal sugar or as low as unsweetened cola- it depends on the reader.

Pepsi uses a large amount of carbonic acid and a small amount of phosphoric acid. This helps mask the strong taste of sugar.

Even if there is 0 grams of protein, then there can still be a small amount of phe. The formula is to add .5 to the 0 and multiply by 5, so there could be 25 mg of phe in a can of Pepsi

Makes you gassy and you get a bad stomach ache!!

Fresca.

Yes, you can be sensitive to carbonation in soft drinks. "Allergic" is probably a bad term, which prompted the wrong response at the bottom.

I've only met 3 people in my life that have this condition. It's not named. I am one of them. Long story short, many doctors never could figure out what was wrong with me, but severe stabbing chest pains every 2-3 seconds screamed "Yup, something's wrong".

Drink tea, juice, and milk for awhile, and see if it helps.

(I'll leave the old answer down here, because it is WRONG.)

No, since carbonation is performed by bubbling carbon dioxide through the beverage. Since carbon dioxide is C02, which is air, you would also have to be allergic to air if you were allergic to soft drinks (which would be unfortunate, to say the least). However there are many other chemicals which occur in soft drinks, which it is possible to be allergic/sensitive to, such as sodium benzoate, among others. But "air" is the least likely of these.

yes

it is sweetened with PEPSI.

Almost all diet drinks now contain aspertame - take a look at No added sugar Robinson's diluting juice - that even contains it!

Diet drinks from pepsico and cocacola all contain it

Both are harmful to your health. Both erode the enamel from the teeth and cause weight gain. Research has actually found a possible link between diet drinks to brain cancer and suggest that it can lead to the development of Alzheimer as well. The word "diet" does not mean healthier. If one is striving to find a healthier alternative, they should do away with soda all together. Any processed product is dooming to your health.

because it has more fluids and bacteria: molecules, syrup bubbles. that make it more weight.

The primary difference is the removal of a natural sweetener , sugar, which has about 800 calories per cup. 1- 8oz. serving of a popular cola has around 100 calories. So this 1/8 of a cup of natural sugar is replaced with one of 3 artificial products. These have almost no calories. So the obvious health benefit of not drinking 1/8 cup of sugar must be weighted against various claims and counterclaims of these other products.

Diet soda is worse than regular ones because diet has lots of sugar in it and calcium.
