I can't quote any studies because I haven't looked at them, but I know that my Mom who was a Diet Coke drinker for years and was diabetic was told by her doctor that if she "had" to have one, Coke Zero would be better than Diet Coke, but even three cans a week is really too much. I personally don't drink or eat any "diet" things. I don't like the taste.

Most doctors get virtually zero formal education on nutrition, so in many cases the advice they dispense is personal anecdote - about as reliable as the diet advice on the cover of a women's magazine at the newsstand.
...and Diet Coke gets declared the winnah and still champeen because it has more caffeine! :thumbsup:1 -

There's still time to resuscitate it maybe! I drink one every day they can pry it from my cold dead hands.
Coke Zero from the can after it has sat for a few minutes in the freezer!!! Let's do a Coke Zero Diet!
True story - one night we were fast asleep in bed ( as is our norm for 3:30 am
) when we were woken by almighty loud bang like gunshots.
Jumped out of bed, looked outside, all quiet, nobody else in street had stirred, dog was going back to sleep, so no intruders on our property or she would be barking her head off - mystery, but nothing to do but go back to bed.
Next morning husband goes to get something out freezer - Pepsi max can he had put in there to cool down for a few minutes and then forgotten about had exploded - tiny shards of tin can and frozen pepsi icicles everywhere
Ps this anecdote has no bearing on bone health

Is coke zero really only 1 calorie per 330ml can?
I find it hard to believe
Where I am it is ZERO calories per 500ml bottle.

Tony where are you?? In USA??
As has been mentioned before USA laws state a product with less than 5 calories can be labelled zero calories.
It isn't actually zero, it is about 1 calorie.
Countries that don't have this law will show it as 1 calorie - or metric equivalent.
Of course, in real life applications, difference between 0 calorie per can and 1 calorie per can is non existent.0 -
