The American and Canadian versions had a plastic resealable cap on a glass bottle that resembled the classic Coke bottle, where the French/Czech version was a bottle shape formed in aluminum. Consumer Reports taste-testers found the French version to be less sweet and to contain more coffee flavor. version of Coca-Cola Blak replaced sugar with high fructose corn syrup, aspartame, and acesulfame potassium. The French and Canadian versions of Coca-Cola Blak were sweetened with sugar. In August 2007, trade magazine Beverage Digest noted that Coca-Cola would discontinue the drink within the United States.
The mid-calorie drink was introduced first in France and subsequently in other markets, including Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Lithuania.Ĭoca-Cola Blak launched in the United States on April 3, and in Canada on Aug in Toronto, Ontario, at Dundas Square. Like is coffee more healthier due to x or y, is coke zero neither healthy or unhealthy as its basically water and sweetener? You did discuss the aspartime though which is appreciated.Coca-Cola Blak (stylized as Coca-Cola BlāK) was a coffee-flavored soft drink introduced by Coca-Cola in 2006 and discontinued in 2008. I would’ve liked through (and I kind’ve assumed that the OP was more leading too) the health wise benefit. I usually like coke more as I can drink it throughout the day as well to try to pep me up when I get tired as opposed to coffee which really can only be drank straight away (and typically in the morning). Interesting article, I was always told that coke zero had the most caffeine, which is a shame it doesn’t because its my favourite, it doesn’t taste as sweetened or as attack-like on my tongue like normal coke or diet coke. We can make some assumptions based on modern diets and statistics, but in general, unless you know exactly who you’re talking to, and their diet, physiology and behaviours, calling things ‘good’ or ‘bad’ foods, is always the potential to be making a pretty huge mistake. But if you see some well-meaning idiot’s diatribe on how bad salt is, and take it to heart, and you NEED it, then you’re actually doing more harm than that extra bit of salt would do to someone who has too much already. But it’s vital, you need it, and it’s not ALWAYS too high. People give salt a lot of shit because the majority of the time it’s too high. Etc.)Īnd I know there’s a hell of a lot more to it all than that, but it’s so fucking drowned out by all these people who don’t talk mechanics but talk JUDGEMENTS, saying that more or less of this or that is ‘bad’ or ‘good’. And if it has to work too hard, the liver can get sloppy and let things slide. And the liver refuses to work any harder than it has to, so giving it a huge workload means there’s a backlog of poisons just… sitting there being poisonous. Things which are harmful to keep in the system for too long owing to how they react with everything while they’re unprocessed. (In general, things that have to go in your liver are usually, well… toxins.

Bzzzt.Īnd that’s without going into the difference between what can be broken down by simple saliva or digestive enzymes and which ones need to take a tour through your liver to crack open and get at, like fructose. Like pouring kerosene onto a campfire and expecting that to be all the fuel it needs for the rest of the night. You aren’t ALWAYS using the sugars for fuel, and if you put more into your system than you’re burning, they get stored as fat, which is only the beginning of PART of the problem.
High-GI (simple/refined sugars which are damn near sugar molecules in solid form) are ‘bad’ because they get accessed so quickly.
And the ‘good’ sugars and foods with low-GI are often the ones that are slower to break down and release those juicy fuel goods. Broadly speaking, a compound might be considered a ‘sugar’, but it’s laden down with all these other atoms that form easier or more difficult to process molecules. It’s why the glycemic index (GI) – the measure of how quickly you break a compound down into the eventually-used glucose molecule – is important. It’s the ONLY thing you ‘burn’, once the internal refinement process is done. A big part of how ‘healthy’ something is is down to your body’s need for it, or use for it. Sugars ain’t sugars, to misquote an oil ad. Like, for example, here’s the gross oversimplification I was taught: Year 10 chemistry probably has a lot to answer for.
