Is Diet Coke Really Sugar Free?

Answer: It is really sugar-free!

Diet Coke refers to sugar-free, and its sweetness comes from "aspartame"

Diet Coke is to replace the low-sugar ingredient in Coke with a magical thing - sugar substitute, that is, artificial sweetener

Experiments have found that each gram of artificial sweetener is 100-20,000 times sweeter than a gram of sugar, and its calories are completely negligible

Although artificial sweeteners seem to be fine, in fact, this kind of thing has a lot of harm to the human body

In our life, the sugar substitute added to diet cola is aspartame

Aspartame, a sugar substitute, can overstimulate or interfere with nerve endings, increasing muscle tension and causing migraines

Aspartame is found in diet cola, diet soda, sugar-free gum, ice cream, multivitamins and many over-the-counter medicines

So people who are allergic to sugar substitutes can trigger headaches just by sipping on a low-sugar soda

Sugar substitute has been considered as a neurotoxin that damages the nervous system, so these symptoms are mainly related to the nervous system

Although this sweetener has an effect on the body, as long as you drink no more than 20 bottles of sugar-free cola a day, the intake of aspartame is within the safe range

Does drinking diet cola make you fat?

Maybe many people think that since the "sugar" calorie in sugar-free cola is almost 0, can I drink it boldly?

No! Don't be fooled by the sugar-free appearance!

China's "Prepackaged Food Nutrition Labeling Management Specification" clearly stipulates that "sugar-free" means that the sugar content per 100g of solid or 100ml of liquid food is not higher than 0.

In other words, if a 500ml bottle of sugar-free drink contains 2.

If you feel that "you are drinking a zero-calorie drink", it will not cause much harm to your body, so you subconsciously indulge yourself, and you will drink more and more unconsciously, and the calories will still exceed the standard!

Do not believe? Research results of two authoritative medical journals:

"The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition" has published a research survey showing that long-term consumption of beverages containing artificial sweeteners is more likely to induce obesity and type 2 diabetes

The latest study in the British Medical Journal found that people who used sweeteners instead of sugar did not change their weight significantly compared to those who ate sugar normally

In short, even "sugar-free" cola can't drink too much, and if you drink it for a long time, it will corrode your teeth and easily cause osteoporosis
.

Therefore, Ye's pharmaceutical assistant suggested that sugar-free cola should be drunk occasionally!
