Shinju Posted May 20, 2008 Report Posted May 20, 2008 So yeah. Coke Plus, the Diet Coke with vitamins and minerals in the cool retro packaging that makes it look like it's a newfangled soft drink from the early 80's. So I tried it the other day. I drank two right before bed and had had itchy skin all night with "zings" going up and down my arms and legs. Every time I was about to go to sleep these zings would wake me up with a twitch. I know it's the product, because I also have the same reaction to the Go Girl Energy Drink which has similar ingredients. Oh yeah, I also woke up vomiting bits of vile yellow stomach goo in the morning. Have fun with your Coke Plus, anyone who wants to try it out. Quote
Raphaella Posted May 20, 2008 Report Posted May 20, 2008 Just incase any one was wondering what the ingredients are and did not wish to look them up. One thing that is notably lacking in the Go Girl list that should be there is aspartame. I do not drink, or eat any thing diet, or sugar free that contains aspartame, and here is why http://www.dorway.com/92symptomsfotocopy.html. They are tricky though, putting it in all kinds of products, so you really need to read labels before you eat, or drink anything these days. The same for MSG, many people have bad reactions to it as well, and it's not always listed. Diet Coke Plus Ingredients: Carbonated water, magnesium sulfate, caramel color, phosphoric acid, potassium sorbate and potassium benzoate, aspartame, natural flavors, ace-k, zin gluconate, vitamin B3, vitamin B6, vitamin B12 Nutrition Facts: Serving size: 8 fl oz; Servings per container: 2.5; Calories: 0; Total fat: 0g; Sodium: 30mg; Total carbs: 0g; Protein: 0g; Niacin: 15%; Vitamin B6: 15%; Vitamin B12: 15%; Magnesium: 10%; Zinc: 10% Go Girl Sugar Free Energy Drink Riboflavin Vitamin B2 Niacinamide Vitamin B3 is required for cell respiration, helps in the release of energy and metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, proper circulation and healthy skin, functioning of the nervous system. Pantothenic Acid Vitamin B5, a B-complex vitamin Pyridoxine Vitamin B6 Cobalamin Vitamin B12 Super-Citrimax Extracted from the South American garcinia cambogia, it contains standardized levels of hydroxycitric acid (HCA), which has been clinically shown to suppress appetite and inhibit fat production. Taurine amino acid Glucuronolactone is a naturally-occurring metabolite, a carbohydrate produced by the metabolic system. It helps accelerate and eliminate harmful substances found in the body. Trimethylxanthine also known as Caffeine. Quote
greenwizard Posted May 20, 2008 Report Posted May 20, 2008 My question is if you had a bad reaction to the energy drink, why did you try coke+ if it has similar ingredients? I myself haven't had a bad reaction to aspartame, but I do tend to avoid diet drinks. Artificial sweetners are unhealthy. They're chemicles manufactored in a labratory. Other countries won't take our food because of some of the crap we put in it. People talk about it on infomercials because they're trying to sell you something. But if you look at the ingredients on food they have a point. There are all kinds of preservatives and crap. And yes the FDA approved it, but how many times have they approved a drug, and then a year or so later there's a class action suit against the drug company because a lot of people had serious side effects. I won't get into it any further than that. I just avoid diet products because I feel that they're not healthy. I'd rather have a few extra calories and take an extra lap around the block. Quote
Shinju Posted May 21, 2008 Author Report Posted May 21, 2008 My question is if you had a bad reaction to the energy drink, why did you try coke+ if it has similar ingredients? Because I'm the type of person who burns her mouth on the soup and then immediately dips her spoon back in for another go! No, I'm kidding. I really didn't check the ingredients. I was just like: "Coke with minerals, wheee!!!" Quote
Guest Zyx Posted May 21, 2008 Report Posted May 21, 2008 been drinking diet coke for years, never had any problems and my eye sight has always been perfect I think I'm gonna try this new coke Quote
Raphaella Posted May 21, 2008 Report Posted May 21, 2008 Go for it! I recommend you drink at least a six pack of coke plus per day to get the added benefits. Quote
Shinju Posted May 22, 2008 Author Report Posted May 22, 2008 ^^ The added benefits being "My arms! I can't feel my arms!!!" Quote
