It sounds quite unreal. I mean coke is coke and everybody know it's not the healthier drink, adding some vitamins makes me be even more suspicious... You can't just place vitamins there and expect to have great effects. <a href="http://vitanet1.blogspot.com">Vitamin discussion</a> Well I don’t know about that, diet coke plus vitamins?

The sweeteners can't be metabolized by your body like sugar since they are manmade amino acids (or modified sugar molecules that aren't sugar anymore, like splenda). Sorbitol in excess quantities can cause bloating and diarrhoea and saccharin has been attributed to bladder cancer in male rats but not humans or even female rats. The only people who should never take artificial sweeteners esp aspartame are those with PKU, a rare genetic disorder that stops you from metabolizing phenylalanine and results in brain damage. I guess apart from these people with this disorder, the rest of us are safe with moderate amounts of diet coke. Actually it's a great discovery for those losing weight or with diabetes. I just drink 1 a day during hot evenings.

The addition of synthetic, manufactured vitamins adds a new dimension because these type of viatmins can actually leach more nutrients from your body and are treated like drugs by the body! my opinion is that your better of drinking a regular coke. althought the sugar content is very bad for you…replacing it with artificial sweeteners is harmful to your metabolism.

I don't smoke, rarely drink, and don't do drugs, so I guess I'm allowed this one. I drank tons of regular Coke for years, then switched to Diet (no calories). Now that I've discovered DC+ I'm hooked. I eat the right number of fruit, veggies, etc. every day, but the fact that I can feed my "addiction" and get at least some benefit out of it is fantastic! Plus, the flavor is great. If anything, it tastes more like regular Coke. I am a complete Coke addict. I don’t smoke, rarely drink, and don’t do drugs, so I guess I’m allowed this one.

Maybe they will intro the diet coke plus to machines at work :) Sarsparilla (sorry spelt it wrong before) is basically used in root beer. I like ginger beer but can't stand root beer. It has a very strange taste to me. I guess everyone has different taste buds though and are brought up differently on various drinks and food. Yeah its a great deal.

I have heard of Sasparilla, but I really don't know what it is! 25 cents a can – WOW, what a great deal.
