What is the difference between Diet Coke and Coke Zero??

Being a Yank, I drank Coca-Cola in all its iterations daily from an early age up until just recently. As soon as I stopped drinking the iconic American soft-drink, I dropped 15kg (2 stone, 30 pounds). I haven't had any since.
I'm guessing you made other diet/lifestyle changes and it wasn't just the Coke?
 
There are 35g of sugar in a 330ml can of fat coke. That's equal to 7 x teaspoons. (I'm diabetic so am quite aware of sugar content of many products)
 
"Coca-Cola Zero provides real Coca-Cola taste for variety-seeking consumers. Coca-Cola Zero is sweetened with a blend of low-calorie sweeteners, while Diet Coke is sweetened with aspartame. There you have it. Men get poisoned by 2 artificial sweeteners instead of one."

So, no nasty Coke for you; btw, how's your liver doing?
There is More Liver Casualties in the West these Days due to Fizzy Drinks than Alcohol..The Liver cant Cope with the Bubbles Bursting...In Short..It Bursts the Liver..Children's Bodies are being Destroyed from an Early Age & the Accumulated Effects in Adulthood can be Devastating..;)

Of Course, when I was brought up in the UK in the 60s & 70s Parents Knew these Drinks were Not Healthy & took a Responsibility for Rationing it as well as Sweets..Those Days are Long Gone..:eek:

Do you have any links in support of the bubble damage to the liver?
 
Nothing poisonous about artificial sweeteners, apart from the taste that is.
Seem to remember reading that one of the decomposition products of aspartame is methanol (poisonous) but hopefully in small enough quantities for the body to cope with. Don't know about all the other artificial sweeteners out there now.
