As we all know, in Japan, which pays attention to health and aging, only tea drinks can dominate the beverage market. And this Japanese limited edition coke is said to be a big move to save the depressed carbonated beverage market. In publicity, it also played the signboard of "the healthiest cola in history".

In fact, this coke, which is claimed to have been developed for ten years, is actually an upgraded version of Zero Coke with a special formula.

As can be seen from the ingredient list, Diet Coke contains dietary fiber (resistant dextrin), carbon dioxide, caramel pigment, acidity regulator, sweeteners (aspartame, acesulfame K, sucralose), flavoring agent and caffeine.

Flavors and caramel pigments give cola its unique flavor and color. Acidity regulators, such as phosphoric acid, are used to enhance the flavor of cola. Sweeteners include three most common types: aspartame, acesulfame K and sucralose. Because these three sweeteners are sugar substitutes without energy. So this cola itself is zero calorie. As for carbon dioxide and caffeine, of course, it is the standard of coke.

It can be seen that it is actually a diet coke, similar to diet and zero degree. The only difference is that it adds a substance called "resistant dextrin". So, what is resistant dextrin?

This substance was certified by GRAS in America as early as 1990; 1992, 1994 and 1998 have successively passed the certification of Japanese specific health food system, which has the effects of regulating intestine, delaying postprandial blood sugar increase and delaying postprandial triglyceride increase.
