Coca-cola is one of the 10 food and drinks companies that produce 80% of all food and drink worldwide.  Coca-cola is in essence a soda drink packed with sugar, additives and food chemicals that we do not need to consume.  We can dig our heads into the sand and pretend that these drinks have a place in the diet but that is truly fooling ourselves.  Whether it's coke zero, sugar free or the standard coke, they are all detrimental to our health and well-being.    The recent study which has linked artificial sweeteners to dementia and stroke is not good.  Even moderate consumption of these drinks such as 1 can per week has been shown to have deleterious effects on the body.  This debate has gone away yet again....
