    Caramel color or caramel coloring is a water-soluble food coloring. It is made by heat treatment of carbohydrates, in general in the presence of acids, alkalis, or salts, in a process called caramelization.

    So what's the problem?

    What are you drinking, chemical-free water?

    PHENYLKETONURICS: CONTAINS PHENYLALANINE

    Ingredients
    Carbonated Water, Caramel Color, Aspartame, Phosphoric Acid, Potassium Benzoate (To Protect Taste), Natural Flavors, Citric Acid, Caffeine.

    I'll pass on all that and just take my water, thanks. lol

    Oh my gosh.

    Phenylketonuria is a rare disorder and those people cannot consume the AMINO ACID phenylalanine in any context. Phenylalanine is an amino acid found in proteins...

    That was copied and pasted from the Coke website. Pretty sure it is a warning for PHENYLKETONURICS (people who have phenylketonuria), to warn them that it contains PHENYLALANINE.

    LMAO

    So I guess I don't understand what's the point of that original post?

    I mean, i passed two semesters of chemistry in college and I see absolutely nothing alarming in your list of ingredients there.

    None of those things are in water. ;)

    Admit you have nothing and are wrong with your fear mongering.

    So what if none of those things are in water? If I had a glass of 12 Oz of water and a small container of those ingredients, and ingested them at the same time but separately, would that water be "ok"? But when they're mixed together it's evil?

    I'm really confused by some people's logic in this thread.

    The same way a cheeseburger is evil but ground beef, a slice of cheese, and bread laid out separately are healthy. :D

    Weird reaction, in that everything she said is correct.

    Laughing burns calories, though, so good for you, although I wouldn't count on it burning enough to make much of a difference in the size of your behind.

    As soon as someone at McDonald's lays hands on those ingredients to combine them it's the devil

    It's like how coffee somehow doesn't count as hydration (for the record, no it doesn't cause dehydration). Instead, I should give up coffee (which also has, gasp!, caffeine) and drink water while eating chocolate-covered espresso beans.

    Which isn't the worst idea, granted.

    But coffee is ok as long as you put 1 or 2 tbsp of coconut oil in it... then it becomes fat burning because, coconut oil...

    Lol, you'd be LUCKY to find everything you eat free of artificial color and chemicals.................especially since EVERYTHING we consume is chemically bonded at the molecular level.

    If you think the ingredients in diet soda are bad, just look at this list of nasty unpronounceable chemicals. Oh, the horror!!one!1!!!:

    You see, before the clean, wholesome ingredients are put together and made into an evil burger, they magically warp through a wormhole to an anti-universe (I believe these are located in the kitchen microwaves *shiver*) where their molecules are rearranged into an unclean thing full of cancer-causing chemicals, then they pass through hell where the devil himself spits on them before whooshing everything back. Same with pizza. It's true.

    So what's the problem?

    So what's the problem? They said they underlined, yet it seems they actually bolded.

    Other than that, not a f'ing thing.

    The problem is that combining them "confuses" your body, and when your body is confused it just stores everything as fat for safety's sake. Your body only understands whole foods, duh. :naughty:

    The bolded was to show what ingredients are shared with regular coke...

    I was responding to another poster asking the same question...

    I know. But the thing you posted stated that they underlined those things. I was making an (apparently not-so) funneh.
