Coca-Cola clarified that Coke Zero and Diet Coke do not contain the sugar replacement called erythritol but instead have aspartame.
According to Coca-Cola’s official website, aspartame is used in some of its products including Coke Zero Sugar, Diet Coke, Diet Coke Feisty Cherry, Diet Barq’s, Fanta Zero, Fresca, Gold Peak Diet Tea, Mello Yello Zero, Minute Maid Light, Pibb Zero, Seagrams Ginger Ale Zero Sugar, and Sprite Zero.
Aspartame provides low or no sugar calories option.
Unlike erythritol, aspartame hasn’t been linked with any serious side effects or health problems.
A recent study draws attention to the harmful effects of erythritol such as linked to causing serious health issues, including the risk of stroke, blood clotting, and heart attack
Erythritol reportedly used to “add bulk or sweeten monk fruit and keto reduced-sugar products.
According to Peace Health, one of the names for sugar alcohols used in foods labeled "sugar-free" or "no sugar added" is erythritol.
It is regarded as having calories and carbohydrates even if it is labeled as "sugar-free". It is said to have negative effects on persons who already have other underlying medical issues because it can raise blood sugar levels.
Erythritol is found naturally in some foods like wine, beer, and even cheese when they ferment.
