I drank it for some time but was always put off by the after taste of the 'fake' sugar.
Then along came 'Zero' and I was immediately sold on it. Gone was the after taste and I found it to be 'fit for purpose', and still do today.
I am overweight (approx 135kg) at first I attributed this to the sugar.
But since a major medical emergency some years ago and the fact that I am regularly checked, I find all my stats are within the lines. With the exception of my kidneys. No this is as a result of my emergency.
As part of my health check I visited a urologist. Having nothing to do with my visit and mostly because my wife has been 'ear-bashing' me over my preference to drinking Zero, I took the opportunity to ask him about Coke Zero.
He was writing at that moment, he stopped, put his pen down, looking a little annoyed at being interrupted with such a mundane question, and very firmly said. 'It's water, what about it? I explained my wife's concerns, who by the way was sitting next to me. He repeated himself, 'it's just water with some flavouring'. And went on writing.
Now this is a professional in this very field, and to be honest I was both grateful and slightly curious that he did not come straight out with, 'No it's not good for you so stop drinking it immediately'.
Go figure?
(Oh BTW my emergency was an aortic dissection and the kidney took the major hit as the organs began shutting down. So I was told after my return to land of the living.)
I know what some of you are thinking. If my kidneys are compromised why am I stressing them further with soft drink and all it's baddies?
I'm human?
