Coca-Cola Zero [warning shocking truth]

[cDa]

So u like coca-cola zero? think its good for u cause less sugar? think again... i just read labbel and googled those stuff... this is what u came out with:

• Phenylalanine

  interferes with the production of serotonin (pleasure hormon) and causes addiction

• Phosphoric acid

   E338- used in many soft drinks (primarily cola), has been linked to lower bone density

• Sodium cyclamate

  E952 This substance was used in Japan as an artificial sweetener ("chikuro") until it was banned in 1969. It was found  to metabolize into a carcinogenic substance.

• Acesulfame potassium

  E950- Critics of the use of acesulfame potassium say the chemical has not been studied adequately and may be carcinogenic

• Aspartame

   E951-  Studies have recommended further investigation into possible connections between aspartame and negative effects such as headaches, brain tumors, brain lesions, and lymphoma

• Caffeine

  ok we all know its adictive......

• Sodium citrate/Trisodium citrate

  This "taste" regulator is infact an antistetic that numbs your tongue, it is also an anticoagulant

• Sodium benzoate

  E211- In combination with ascorbic acid (vitamin C, E300(coke has this too kids!)), sodium benzoate and potassium benzoate may form benzene, a known carcinogen.

And for end like comercial says:

Guys, I googled some stuff of this, and found something very interesting about Aspartame, the sustance that "causes tumors" and stuff:

4. Can aspartame affect human health?

Many studies have been conducted on aspartame and its breakdown products in experimental animals and in humans. To date, they conclude that:

4.1 There is no link between aspartame and damage to the genes or cancer.

4.2 Aspartame does not affect reproduction and development, apart from marginal effects at a very high dose more than 100 times greater than the Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI).

4.3 Aspartame does not produce nervous system disorders.

4.4 Aspartame does not affect behaviour, cognition and mood, except possibly in depressed individuals.

4.5 Aspartame has not been found to trigger headaches.

4.6 A large number of scientists have refuted a suggested link between aspartame and epileptic seizures.

4.7 Aspartame does not cause allergies and has not been shown to increase body weight.

The "links" between Aspartame and tumors were just suppositions, here is the clear proof of it being wrong. So Coca-Cola Zero is not bad for your health, It is addictive, yea, but it is not that bad for your health that cause you to die.
