No Matter What The Health Issues, The Original Versions Of Coke Beat The Health Ones!
I have never understood it. Coke have brought out things like coke zero that tastes horrible. Pepsi have done the same. I'd rather have the original even if it has a million spoons (hyperbole there) of sugar. The zero sugar drinks still have sugar in them, just under the amount to be classed as nothing. Like organic crops are meant to have no pesticides and other chemicals and yet they are allowed a guideline of what schemicals can still be sprayed on them to be classed as organic. Off topic but, your thoughts.

I totally agree. If you are really concerned about your health, you shouldn't be drinking coke at all. I mean, the "diet" ones have no sugar but I've heard they're worse for you in other ways. If I ever decided to get off of coke, I'd go cold turkey instead of going down to the diet level ('cause like you said, they taste horrible which takes away the whole point of having a coke).

 The diet versions of most fizzy drinks taste like a watered down version of the original. I'd rather have the original and know I'm not paying high prices for half water half diet coke.

I agree, I can't understand why people drink diet coke when it just doesn't taste nice, especially if they've already tasted normal coke. If I was trying to be healthy or reduce my sugar intake then I would substitute my coke for a fruit drink or water, not a disgusting form of it.

I like Coke Zero. Of all the diet Coca Colas, this tastes closest to the "real thing." The sugars in old Coca Cola are less poisonous than the cheap corn syrup invented by the Japanese, used in the new Coca Cola. Only Mexican Coca Cola still uses real cane sugar and no corn syrup. Mexican Coca Cola tastes like Coca Cola did when I was a kid.

Coca Cola STILL uses coca leaves!!! They say MOST of the cocaine is removed, but that a "negligible"l amount does get through.

Original Coca Cola contain sugars which can damage teeth or build up glycogen in the Liver, or cause an excess amount of sugar which can cause someone to become a diabetic, having to inject themselves with insulin or having to eat a daily set diet to reduce sugar levels for the rest of their lives. And anyway, healthy food always tastes horrible because you are not used to the sweeteners that they have replaced the sugar with. If you get used to the taste of food, then you do not notice the flavours because your body has got used to the intake of food.
