      Normal coke for the amount of sugar it contains.

      Depends on your perspective!

      I drink Diet Coke – because of the sugar. But I know there are mixed views on artificial sweeteners. And caffeine ….

      I don’t drink much of either, but the amount of sugar in coke really puts me off it.

      I read somewhere that diet coke was actually worst for you because it contained a chemical called aspartame. But this chemical has been linked to cancer and neurological problems (I’ve not seen the research on this so can’t say if this is true or not!). However, diet coke does have fewer calories in it and normal coke does have a high level of sugar.
