We know that Coca Cola sold in the US is sweetened with corn syrup, and that Coke Zero is formulated to be as close as possible to the standard recipe.
But… Coca Cola here in the UK has always been sweetened with cane sugar.
Is the UK version of Coke Zero formulated differently to imitate the flavour of cane sugar instead? Or do we get a Coke Zero that’s trying to imitate HFCS?
(Side note: I’m aware a certain president recently decided Coke US should be made with cane sugar too, but that fact makes my question less interesting so I’m choosing to ignore it.)
Coke Zero is sweetened with sucralose, not HFCS or cane sugar. It’s a diabetic friendly alternative. It might taste closer to Coke made with cane sugar, but I’m not sure. I don’t drink soda anymore, but I do drink Gatorade Zero.
I recommend sucralose sweetened beverages over HFCS and cane sugar ones.
Yeah I love me some Coke zero but a bunch of studies have been coming out that just say fake sugar is fucking bad for your brain and might make you retarded so you’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t the best move would be cutting them out entirely
I have another reason for cutting out soda, but as far as artificial sweeteners go, one is the devil you know (sucrose/sugar) and the other is a bunch of maybes (sucralose). Maybe someday they discover something wrong with it and invent something better. Or humanity just turns on sugar like we’ve turned on tobacco/nicotine…
Yeah I really just need to fucking drink water at least that shit has fluoride in it, not a dig on fluoride, my mom had such horrible teeth from living in unincorporated town
