Jesus this stuff is rank.

Thought i'd give it a go as im sick of drinking coke zero. Yuuuuccck!! Its sickly sweet & has a weird consistency, almost gloopy like syrup.

Nasty.

Have to say I love the stuff!, maybe you are too used to drinking coke zero which has no syrup at all, diet club orange is still around 8 or 9% orange juice so does have sugar in it. It is a bit syrupy tasting, but thats one thing I like, the orange bits.

I try and avoid diet cola as it has phosphoric acid, which is worse for you than the citric acid in most other diet drinks.

I think that Diet Club Orange is lovely. Much nicer than the normal Club Orange.

isnt the latest that sugar free drinks mess with your brain

Basically, artificial sweeteners confuse your brain. The enzymes in your mouth begin a cascade that primes your cell receptors for an insulin surge, and when it doesn’t arrive your brain feels cheated. That’s why most diet sodas are loaded with caffeine — so you’ll still feel a jolt.

But even if your brain is distracted momentarily, soon enough it wants the energy boost you promised it — and you find yourself craving carbohydrates. In one study, people who used artificial sweeteners ate up to three times the amount of calories as the control group. But again, this is individual. It all comes down to the brain’s perception of calories, which can get thrown off whenever artificial ingredients are substituted for whole food.
