I just got diagnosed with diabetes and I'm fairly certain it's Dr Pepper Cream Soda that pushed me over the edge from being pre-diabetic... love that stuff, but it even tastes like drinking a can of sugar..
It's the only sugary thing I consume, don't have a sweet tooth so most candies are out and don't like biscuits or cake.
Will consume my body weight in crisps (chips) pretty much daily though, so that's probably the main candidate..
So, dasnai is made in multiple plants across the US, just like coke. Just like coke, the water is nano filtered. Dasnai then goes through a extra filtration step which makes it, in essence, pure h2O. Now the issue is that pure h2O has no taste, as the taste of water comes from dissolved minerals in it. That's why water from certain areas taste different than water from other areas. So in order to make a bottle from California taste the same as a bottle from Florida, they add a "mineral pack", which contains essential salts, so that the flavor profile is the same.
It's also essential because with no dissolved minerals in it, it would actually leech minerals from your body. It's why you shouldnt drink distilled/deionized water and all purified water does the same thing.
Lol... we're singling out Coca-Cola?!?! News flash: 95% of the "standard American diet" is made up of highly processed foods drenched in sugar, salt, pesticides and chemical additives. There are about 43,000 everyday foods you could put in place of "Coca-cola" in the title.
Notice that no-one is talking about banning expensive sugary drinks drunk by the middle- and upper-middle class, like Starbucks Frappuccinos. Almost as if there were a class component to these bans, almost as if the point was to punish the poor for being fat and poor, rather than just for being fat.
I see the point you're trying to make, but technically if they are trying to ban the poor people's drinks and not the rich people's drinks, then the point is to punish the rich and fat, not the poor and fat. Unless we are considering depriving the poor of Coke (with a ban in place) as punishment. This is one of the more bizarre comments I have ever typed
"Uhhhh how long have we had this exact same recipe (waits for an answer) 130 year post cocaine removal and they are just now complaining about the sugar content. Welp"

Also I think what makes this even dumber beyond the fact coke has had this much sugar for about a century is you can buy two different versions with no sugar. Diet Coke and Coke Zero which the later is the Original Coke taste minus the sugar.
It also still contains “decocainized” coca leaf extract as a “flavoring” agent. Something tells me this might also have unknown health effects. I know I get anxiety attacks and heart palpitations from Coca Cola even though I drink coffee and tea with no problem.
I thought I read somewhere recently it was 25g for women and 30 for men. I have no sugar cravings personally, so I’m right around 25g personally as far as daily consumption goes. Maybe it’s different if you expend a lot of energy daily?
Man, I wish the underlying headline would be that journalism is dead, but that ship sailed somewhere around 2015. At this point we're desecrating the corpse and grinding the bones into the worst possible cheese for mass consumption.
Almost as amazing as the reports that find people who drink Coke Zero are more likely to have the same medical issues as people who are obese. Almost as if people use it to avoid calories/sugar. Shocking stuff.
Coca cola is high in sugar??
What's next, water is high in dihydrogen monoxide??
Cheeseburgers are high in cheese
utterly packed with burger, too, it’s horrible
SEAWEED, 50% SEA, 50% WEED
Reminds me of the South Park ManBearPig, 50% man 50% bear 50% pig.
scandalous they shouldn't be selling those!
[deleted]
And you know what happens after you contract Burgs? ERS.
Every single living thing that has ever come into dihydrogen monoxide, is dead or will die. We need to ban the substance NOW.
That shit's deadly
BAN WATER
Juice
It's not funny, 100% of people who breathe dihydrogen monoxide will die.
/s, in case
Lifehack: Pet fish crave dihydrogen monoxide! Serve it to them as a fun treat!
Not dihyodrogen monoxide! :O
Too much of that and you can die!
Yea, but TIL it's actually very high in sugar.
“Hidden dangers” lol
They put it in the most secret location possible: The nutrition label.
In SHOCK, i say!
No shit.
Hidden? 😂
fork found in kitchen
All other sodas must be fine then right? They only mentioned Coke?
Study was paid for by Pepsi
Bravo!
NO WAY
That’s why I drink Dr. Pepper.

Ah, probably cheaper than my sleep specialist - thought it was my apnea making me tired, turned out to be diabeetus
That guy spent too much time in school. I’d buy that shit from a Mr Pepper
Dasani is more of a crime, they add salt
Coca Cola can also shove it for calling Ice to arrest their mexican employees right as their shift was about to end
It looks like Dasani stopped adding salt in 2024. I had no idea. I shouldn’t have to read a label for water!

I always figured the reason why Dasani tasted weird was because you were tasting the plastic bottle.
ah, ok. So not the highly acidic nature of it....
I mean, carbonated water, lemons and many more things can have even more acid.
Holy shit!
What’s next? Cigarettes and vaping are bad for you too?!?!?
It says so right in the ingredients lol
Experts uncover the hidden dangers of fire: it's hot and burns.

scientists when they do THE SCIENCE on Mountain Dew: 🤯🤯🤯

They actually did ban it somewhere in the Midwest years ago but it didn’t last
Sugar is very high in sugar. It shouldn't be sold.

I like how all the comments are like 'we know and we don't care!'
Stopped drinking soda years ago after kidney stone. You don't want that experience
its basically poison
These products have to have a warning on them now here in Canada.
Do these people know they literally sell pure sugar at the grocery store?
It’s liquid candy.
Harder to quit than smoking in my case but I did it.
diet coke is even harder
I guess it’s too hard to develop good, mature tastes for beverages
Pop is ridiculously high in sugar. I don't know how some people can handle drinking so much of it.
damn, better stop drinking my liter a day of cola.
Blocking op for being a noise generator
Mountain Dew must be SWEATING
Also Pepsi, Mt. Dew, …, the list goes on.
[deleted]
But but, I don’t like Pepsi😭😢😭😢😭
Wow they uncovered that huge secret?! They MUST be experts.
Where has everyone been?
That’s not hidden.
WHAT YEAR IS IT?!
thanks for reminding me I've got some coke in the fridge
Like it hasn't been this way FOREVER! 🤷🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Now this is exactly the sort of clickbait I come here for

dude no way
I mean is it higher than other sodas?

Wait - ice cream is still healthy right? RIGHT???!!!
And water is wet.
