[Diabetes-talk] Coke 0 type drinks

[Bonnie Lucas]

I am subscribed to this list because I work with diabetics but I am not diabetic. Generally I do not post but I cannot resist this time. Personally, I limit my soda products to none a year. Between the sugar and the artificial sweeteners and everything else in soda, I think it is deadly. You may think that is radical but simply cutting them out entirely several years ago, I lost 10 pounds. There is no evidence that they are helpful to anyone. Good luck making your personal decision. I anticipate this post will spark a lot of opposite view posts. I hope there are a few who agree with me!

Hi Folks,
I was wondering what you think of Coke 0 type drinks.  My grocery store has some that are raspberry and lemonade flavored.

If you're going to drink soda, I guess sugar-free is best, at least for diabetics. Note, though, studies are showing diet soda can contribute to belly fat actually. Plus, soda is full of synthetic ingredients. Despite what some say, I also still think too much caffeine is not good. Personally, I limite my soda consumption to no more than 3 a week, and then, it's caffeine-free and of course, sugar-free. Diet A & W or diet Barq's root beer is my favorite.

As for taste, I can not stand Coke products and am probably the wrong person to ask, grin. Coke 0 is sugar-free and calorie and carb-free though, so in terms of it affecting glucose levels, it shouldn't, though I believe some studies are also suggesting artificial sweetners can affect glucose levels in some cases.

Not sure exactly what info you were looking for, sorry.

Bridgit
