I think Coke must have seen a real dent in figures recently as they are almost giving the stuff away

I think it might be that some one decided the X amount of caloroes in a tin of coke was fatening, and I guess thats why they are pushing their diet coke as well

And therein lies the mistake. I don't have the calories for 'normal' Coke to hand but the bottle of Cherry Coke I have states 45 kcal per 100 ml, whereas the nice healthy Cranberry and Raspberry juice i have here states 46 kcal per 100 ml, so you tell me which is worse!?

As for 'diet' drinks you can keep them! Sugar may rot your teeth but that's what toothpaste etc is for, I don't think these artificial sweeteners are all that good for your insides. (I'm not a doctor so if you have any facts about the artificial sweeteners feel free to shoot me, it's just my impression of them)

Just checked the Coca-cola website:-

  • Coke = 42 kcal per 100ml
  • Cherry Coke = 45 kcal per 100ml
  • Vanilla Coke = 42.5 kcal per 100ml

Isn't there a sweetener in Diet Coke in the UK that's banned in the US?

Yes there is, its one big complicated fandango, there have also been court cases and campaigns going on for years to try and get different type of sweeteners banned, everything in moderation, its silly really ban a sweetner that's not banned here, then increase the amount of McDonald's, burger king & ben & jerry outlets so more people will get obese, 1 can of diet coke a day won't do you any harm, can I just sat I'm not a doctor so please don't take my advice to heart.

What I was getting at is the US is usually the last place these things get banned in, always thought it suspicious that Coke does 2 sugar free varieties Diet and Zero

USA had catalysts fitted to there Automobiles in the 1970's we had to wait till 1992, so they are not always the last to ban things, I'm not after a debate just pointing out a fact, anyway enjoy you diet coke with ice.
