Of all the "healthy" coke varieties they've made, coke zero was probably the best.

Buuuuuuuut it's kind of like being the champion football team... in some remote county where there are only two schools anyway.

just drink diet coke, its the same fuckin thing lol

only reason coke zero exists is because insecure men wanted a zero calorie soda but refused to drink diet coke because DIETS ARE FOR CHICKS and drinking diet coke would make them GIRLY WIMPS (srs: http://hbswk.hbs.edu/item/should-mens-products-fear-a-womans-touch)

Not at all. Diet Coke is waaaaaaay sweeter. It's not even a similar recipe to normal Coke. Coke and Coke Zero are basically the same recipe, with or without sugar.

i used to be a very avid diet soda drinker until i decided that artificial sweeteners are probably worse for me than the occasional surge of sugar.

hey, wait, you're a med student, right TC? you don't have any reservations at all about pumping your body full of artificial sweeteners? doesn't that trigger insulin release in the body anyway, because it tastes sweet, but then the insulin has nothing to break down since there's no real sugar present and that's bad or something?

No. Both of them use Aspartame. The difference is in the quantity and the stuff the syrup is made out of. Diet Coke tastes noticably worse than Coke Zero because it has more aspartame which means more aftertaste.

Diet Coke "Splenda" used Sucralose.
Coke "life" is part sugar and part stevia

If that were the case, you'd become hypoglycemic quickly.

There is nothing wrong with artificial sweeteners unless you have a specific allergy or autoimmune disease.

not only that, but the whole "cancer in mice" thing turned out to be specific to mice.

and wasn't that in part because they were pumping the mice full of like 100000x the recommended amount of the stuff, or something extremely excessive?

I'm sure that played a role in it, but it was also later determined that the pH of the mouse's biology is what caused their bodies to react in a way that caused cancer. So if you repeated that experiment with humans, it literally wouldn't work.

They tweaked the formula and called it Coke Zero Sugar. The Freestlye machines have it and it's great with cherry.

Insulin is the most anabolic hormone in the body, what does it break down?

Nothing. It stimulates cellular absorption of glucose.

If you're already euglycemic, it can make you hyopglycemic.

I probably do have some nonsymptomatic hypoglycemia. Once my sugars were like 40
