It's pure sugar, so yes. Drink water.

Not by default. Depends on your overall diet.

Over the last 2 years I have drank at least a liter of diet coke a day (probably more).
But because I eat pretty well I have lost just over a stone (ate pretty badly before that). I dont do much exercise (bout an hour and a half a week at most) and spend most of my time working at a PC.

My doc said its fine but to try take daily calcium as drinking coke for years can do nasty things to your bones as time goes on.

A can of coke has 139 calories if I remember rightly, no fat. The problem is that it's pure sugar, and generally that most people have more than one can a day

What year were you born? Beer, Coke, Chocolate, Alcopops. All add weight if you don't exercise. I drank coke for years (2 or 3 litres a day) But I did a lot of training and exercise. As soon as I stopped the training the weight came on. Its simply maths if you eat more than you burn you get fat.

If you don't exercise, drink water. Avoid Energy drinks, Beer, Alcopops as they have more caleries than coke.

General rule, 1 can of Coke 330ml is = 30 mins of walking. (3KM). If you don't walk 3km a day, I would not drink it. (as you already have caleries from other foods in diet like bread, potatoes etc...

There are 10 sugar cubes in one can of coke.

Acutally guinness is 30kcal per 100ml, bulmers is 37kcal per 100ml, bulmers light is 28kcal and coke is 41kcal. Lucozade etc would be a lot higher, they use glucose which is less sweet than sugar, and they often have 1.5+ times the amount. Full sugar alcopops would be higher too.

Also I expect 1000kcal of coke would make you fatter than 1000kcal of beer, all caloires are not used by humans as efficiently as engines (calories are calculated in labs with engines in mind, not humans)


Coke is about 10-11% sugar, which is the same amount of sugar as apple or orange juice per 100ml (though the juice is natural sugar). Nothing shocking at all really, yet some will try and make is sound abnormally and bizarrely high.

not too much, but it rots your teeth and contributes to poor skin
