What is the difference between sugary cola and sugarless cola?

The difference between regular Coke and sugar-free Coke is:

1. Different packaging

Sugar-free Coke

Regular Coke

2. Different ingredients and nutrients Extension information

Long-term drinking of cola will mainly bring about two negative health problems:

1. The impact of sugar in cola on the body .

The large amount of sugar (free sugar) in cola can lead to obesity and may promote the occurrence of fatty liver, hypertension, gout and other diseases.

The reason why sugar-free Coke has no sugar but sweetness is that it uses artificial sweeteners to replace other sugars such as sucrose. The sweetness of the sweetener is much greater than that of sucrose, but it is rarely even Provides barely much heat. Some people have suggested that drinking sugar-free Coke can help you lose weight.

Although sweeteners do not have ingredients like sucrose that can directly cause obesity, some scientists believe that sweeteners may affect the body's metabolism, intestinal flora and even appetite.

2. The phosphoric acid in cola has a certain corrosive effect on teeth.

The enamel of teeth is easily corroded by "acid" (that is, low pH) substances. You can understand this as a process similar to "melting". The phosphoric acid in cola has this "melting function." Although the saliva in the mouth can slow down this process and allow the teeth to return to normal, they cannot withstand years of attack.

Long-term drinking of cola will not only destroy the protective layer on the tooth surface and cause dental disease, but also the corroded tooth enamel will make the teeth more susceptible to staining. This is what "coke teeth" refer to. Therefore, if you want to reduce the harm of cola to your teeth to a certain extent, you can choose to use a straw.
