Have any of you tired this?

I got a "sample" size bottle today at the pig. It tastes like diet coke. Yes, I now water is better for me - and I do drink it. I do, however, have a diet soda daily.

Here is some info:

http://money.cnn.com/2006/12/08/news...coke/index.htm

My bottle was 12 oz and has 25% niacin, 25% vit b6, 25% vit b12, 15% magnesium, and 15% zinc.

I do take a multi-vitamin too.

I guess if I'm going to have a diet soda... why not have one that could be good for me too?

Weird... I've never even heard of this. It's kinda neat though, since pop zaps all those things from your bones to begin with. I wonder if the benefits are legit or insignificant?

yes coming out this summer....yea

They should add calcium to it, to cancel out some of the effects of the phosphoric acid.

Weird, I just noticed the product today too...

IMO, they can never make diet soda healthy, but they can probably make it healthier

I wonder if it's possible to make soda without the phosphoric acid.

I'm pretty sure that adding calcium to diet coke, containing phosphoric acid, would result in the production of the salt calcium phosphate, which in all likeliness would be an undesired result. Oh well, would be nice if we DIDN'T have to have our bones eaten away by drinking a diet coke. The phosphoric acid is there to produce a "tangy" flavor. However, many non cola sodas don't have it.

I may be getting my chemistry facts mixed up though, but that's the first thing I thought when I read that.

I hate to burst anyones bubble. But I LOVE Diet Coke and prediet was drinking a lot of it. Now I try to keep it at one...but need to cut it out completely. Diet Coke and the Diet Coke plus contain Aspertaine and (i'm spelling it wrong) is recognized by your body the same as sugar which causes your insulin to spike...just like sugar. It can keep you from losing well. So says the Dr. I recently saw. ;P

everyone need a coke every once in a while i get the real stuff if i crave one,,,, but water is what i have been drinking,,,

Sometimes, I'd just like to drink something other than water! Thank God for diet soda! I especilly love Diet Barq's rootbeer, but I'll give this Diet Coke Plus a try.....why not include something healthy with my daily soda fix!

I used to drink diet soda. I didn't know why I had headaches alot. I cut it out completely in January. No more headaches.
WATER RULES

I am with Sharon. I literally haven't had one since Dec. 28th. Do NOT miss it at all. A big glass of water with lemon does the job for me now! (and I know that is one of the reasons why everything "clicked" this time.....cutting the junk out)

But - having said that, for those who have to have it, at least they're trying to make it not so bad for you.

I have to say I used to be a regular coke addict, then I switched to diet sodas. I haven't had a soda in a year? I have no clue. I am happy to say that my life is much better without having to pay for overpriced, oversweetened, fizzy water.

I wish I could... I've tried.. I will have to try again. I can go one day.. then the next I have terrible headaches. I can go as far as one every other day.

There was a time I would drink up to 5 regular cokes a day! I love Dr Pepper - it's like crack for me!!

Sharon .. where do you live? my inlaws are in central WI - close to it.. in a nothing town... outside of Neillsville.

I used to drink a LOT of soda - I have been baby stepping the elimination of it - I drink diet soda now and I am just at a few a week now - that really is a huge step for me. Between the coffee and the soda - I used to live on caffiene.

Charbar - the headaches may be from the caffiene withdrawal.

But - I think I will give the diet coke plus a try........
