Diet Coke Plus is More of a Minus
Categories: Nutrition & Supplements
Diet Coke Plus is supposed to include quite a few vitamins and minerals right in with your favorite soda. But the FDA and the Coca Cola company are in the middle of a he-said/she-said type of battle. Coca Cola stands by its product, but the FDA says it doesn't meet their standards.In my opinion, the whole concept of getting vitamins and minerals from soda is ridiculous. If you want a diet soda, then go ahead and treat yourself. But know that it's a treat. Soda just shouldn't be considered part of your daily nutrition no matter how many vitamins and minerals are added into the mix. It's the liquid equivalent of those glorified candy bars that are considered health food because they have a little extra protein thrown in.
You're much better of getting your vitamins and minerals from natural sources, such as fruits and vegetables.

Health claims on food products have been an area of contention between manufacturers and the regulator for many years. The Nutrition Labeling and Education Act of 1990 (NLEA) defined what claims could be made about food and in some cases which wording could be used. For more information see:
