In Fall 2016, PepsiCo renamed the drink Pepsi Zero Sugar from Pepsi Max. It has nearly twice the caffeine of Pepsi's other cola beverages. Pepsi Zero Sugar contains 69 milligrams of caffeine per 355ml (12 fl oz), versus 36 milligrams in Diet Pepsi.
LOS ANGELES - Coca-Cola is getting rid of 200 of its beverage brands. Last week, the Coca-Cola Company announced that it would discontinue drinks like Tab and Odwalla, but announced on Thursday that it would retire half of its portfolio by the end of the year.
Coca-Cola has announced the end of Coke Zero. But from its ashes will rise another zero sugar Coke product that sounds pretty similar. It's called Coke Zero Sugar, and it'll be hitting stores in August. Though the name is basically identical, the drink will have a new recipe and packaging.
We sweeten Coke Zero Sugar in our bottles and cans with a blend of aspartame and acesulfame potassium (or Ace-K). Together, they create a great taste with zero sugar and zero calories. Yes. Diet Coke in our bottles and cans is sweetened with aspartame.
Unlike Coca-Cola, Coke Zero has no sugars. Coke Zero's calories are also nonexistent. The lack of sugar and calories in Coke Zero is the major attribute of this beverage.
The Bottom LineCoke and Diet Coke contain 32 and 42 mg of caffeine per 12 ounces (335 ml) respectively, which is lower than other caffeinated beverages like coffee, tea and energy drinks.
Chronic Health Diseases – According to the US Framingham Heart Study, drinking one can of soda has not only been linked to obesity, but also an increased risk of metabolic syndrome, impaired sugar levels, increased waist size, high blood pressure and higher cholesterol levels, which can increase the risk of heart
Because both regular Coca-Cola and Diet Coke consumption in our study resulted in an increased risk of fatty liver, factors other than calories and sugar content likely contribute to the higher risk. These factors include the consumption of fructose, aspartame, caramel (food colourant) and other covariants.
No. Coke Zero Sugar is a zero-sugar, zero-calorie cola. Sugar alternatives are used in place of sugar in many foods and drinks to provide people with a reduced, low, or no sugar and calorie option.
“Technically speaking, most diet sodas that have zero calories will not break a fast,” explains Autumn Bates, a certified clinical nutritionist in Manhattan Beach, California.
Although diet soda has no calories, sugar, or fat, it has been linked to the development of type 2 diabetes and heart disease in several studies. Research has found that just one serving of an artificially sweetened drink per day is associated with an 8–13% higher risk of type 2 diabetes ( 22 , 23 ).
Caffeine Free Coke has not been permanently discontinued. The COVID-19 crisis has caused a shortage in aluminum cans, which caused Coca-Cola to temporarily stop producing Caffeine Free Coke. Most other beverage manufacturers have also limited less popular drins until the shortage is resolved.
But when it comes to regular old cola, Coke is still king. In the last decade, Coke's market share has risen from 17.3% to 17.8%, while Pepsi's has dropped from 10.3% to 8.4%, according to Beverage Digest, a trade publication. Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi have both lost ground, but Diet Coke is still far ahead.
Diet sodas have zero calories. So it seems logical that replacing one with the other should help you lose weight, or at least stay the same weight. But no--several studies have proved conclusively that drinking diet soda is associated with weight gain.
Coke Zero has even been nicknamed "Bloke Coke". Therefore, the amount of caffeine in Coke Zero is almost identical to that of Regular Coke and higher in Diet Coke.

Diet Soda Could Actually Be Worse For You Than The Regular Stuff. Flickr / niallkennedy Diet sodas may be calorie-free, but they could be worse for your health and your waistline than ones with sugar, a new report suggests.
Aspartame was developed around the time the FDA banned the artificial sweeteners cyclamate (Sucaryl) and saccharin (Sweet'N Low). Lab tests showed that massive doses of these two compounds caused cancer and other disorders in laboratory animals.
