The Unwanted Truth

Coke zero has been known for its classic coke taste and its latest selling strategy is that its calories were lessened to 1/7 fats (wiki 2009). Well the truth is though the company may have done such "good act", still Coke is not good for you. Though they might say that it has been lessened to 1/7 calories (which may be true) it still contains ingredient which are not good for someone if taken too much, such as caffeine and aspartame. However, if you sue them for adding up such ingredients and say that, "Yes it may be true that "Coke Zero doesn't contain any fats, but you still include in its content other harmful ingredients!!." They'll object with your statement and say that, "Yes we might have said that Coke Zero does not contain any FATS, but we did not make a claim that it does not add up other types of harmful elements!!!"

Back to the point, aspartame is an artificial sweetener used in most carbonated drinks. Most medical experts and nutritionists have stated that if a person take much of these harmful ingredients, it can result to certain diseases and climaxed to a worst health condition. Cancer, Parkinson's disease and even Alzheimer's just to name a few are some of the illnesses we might suffer.. In every bottle of coke zero there contains an amount of 87 mg of Aspartame. Imagine indulging in at least three cans a day, that makes up to 261 mg of aspartame. Caffeine on the other hand has been a beloved ingredient added to many soda drink brands and coffee manufacturing companies. Caffeine enables your mind to stay awake (that's why people drink coffee to stay up!). However, according to some experts in the field of medicine, the possibility of having stomach cancer can increase from 10%~18% if a person continuously consume any product that contains much caffeine.

So the next time you hear an advertisement about a soda drink or coffee, think twice and consider the effect. They may look enticing in the eyes but you may never be aware of their great danger. Everything that looks beautiful and pleasurable always contains a sting. And besides, there is nothing better than to taste the original. Alteration may not always be the best option!!!
