What is Cola Zero?

Cola Zero Sugar is a sugar free cola (soda/soft drink), that looks and tastes like a regular cola original, but without the sugar. The best sellers are: Coca-Cola Zero Sugar and Pepsi MAX/Pepsi Zero Sugar.

Yes, Cola Zero is a zero-sugar (and often zero-calorie) cola. Also Diet Cola has no sugar, but low-calori.

A can (33 cl) of regular cola contains 139 calories and 35 grams of sugar, while a can (33 cl) of Cola Zero contains only 1 calorie and 0 g of sugar.

Examples of Cola Original vs Cola Zero from brand: Coca-Cola.

The best is, of course, to drink tap water. What you should drink is, of course, only you decide and depends on how your diet looks in general.

If you choose to drink soft drinks, are heavy consumers of regular Cola, are trying to cut down on foods containing sugar and think that the older diet variants taste worse, Zero can absolutely be a healthy alternative. If you like Light/Zero, it's an even better option than regular Cola, based on the current state of knowledge. If your consumption is low, it doesn't make a big difference if you choose between regular (original) and the Zero-variant.

The main difference between cola and cola zero is the sugar content (and zero/low calories). When drinking cola zero as opposed to regular (original) cola, you are consuming significantly less sugar which is a positive for weight loss and reduces the risk of weight-related diseases.

Some people worring out about the (unproven) dangers of artificial sweeteners, but really, there's nothing wrong with it. Most people recommend not drinking more than one or two a day, but that's because anything in excess can be bad for you.

There are very few differences between Cola Light and Cola Zero. For now, there is no concrete, measurable reason to suggest that one is superior to the other. Nutritionally, there are no significant differences between Light and Zero. Their ingredient and caffeine contents are similar as well, so neither is healthier than the other. Chose the one of your own flavor!

The “Zero” in the original Cola Zero's name referred to its lack of calories. The brands went with the name to sell the drink to men, who according to studies found the name “Cola Light” insufficiently masculine.

Experts advise people with diabetes to choose drinks that contain little or no sugar. Zero Sugar soda uses artificial sweeteners, which can increase people's weight. Increased weight, in turn, is linked to the worsening of diabetes. Therefore, zero soda is probably not suitable for diabetes.

Yes. But nowadays there is Coca-Cola Zero Sugar Zero Caffeine in the stores, which is a cola with no caffeine and no sugar.

Despite its low levels, the caffeine in Cola Zero products can still keep you awake. The FDA estimates that the half-life of caffeine is about five hours.

Sodas have zero health benefits. They contain zero vitamins or minerals. Beer has some of these, but not enough to provide a substantial amount of micronutrients to stop taking your vitamins.

Coffee is the winner, particularly if you don't add sugar! The caloris are then the same as Cola Zero, but Cola Zero stil has artificial sweeteners, wisch coffe do not have. But it's easyer to have a cola zero with you in your poket, than a coffee-mug.

Cola Zero was originally specifically marketed to men, who are shown to associate "diet/light" drinks with women.

No, water is always best. Experts recommend 8 glasses of water per day while limiting soft drinks (for example cola) or better yet, avoiding it altogether. Firstly, soda is caffeinated and high levels of caffeine may lead to dehydration. And there is artificial sweeteners in sugar free sodas. Water has the opposite effect, it is calorie free and hydrating and the benefits are priceless. But for many, a Cola Zero taste better than water.

During pregnancy, it's generally considered OK to drink a soda once in a while. However, you'll want to make sure you don't drink "zero" sodas too often, because they contain artificial sweeteners and often caffeine.

Based on what we know today, Cola Zero does not seem to be harmful to health, but it also does not contribute any nutrition and therefore can be perceived as an unnecessary product - if you ignore the good taste. If you use Cola Zero to, for example, satisfy your sweet tooth, you instead need to review your diet in general and adjust to really get rid of the sweet tooth. Cola Zero should be seen more as a flavored supplement to an already good diet, than something to satisfy hunger.
