What is this Diet Coke Plus?
Best answer:
Diet Coke tastes like salt to me, haha. My mom bought some Diet Coke Plus the other day for my dad to try, and I think it tastes the same at regular Coke. I can tell the difference from diet. Plus, it's a heck of a lot healthier.It tastes like Diet Coke, it's pretty good.Diet Coke Plus is a new formulation of Diet Coke fortified with vitamins and minerals. It is sweetened with a blend of aspartame and acesulfame potassium, unlike regular Diet Coke which only contains aspartame. Diet Coke Plus was introduced in April 2007 in select areas for test marketing.
Each 8-ounce serving of Diet Coke Plus provides 15% of the daily value for niacin and vitamins B6 and B12, and 10% for zinc and magnesium. In fact the second main ingredient in diet coke plus is Epsom salt.
Hope this helps! =)This will be similar to the new Pepsi product Tava. It will be marketed as a sparkling beverage[not just pop or soda] sounds like it is better already. As geared toward the health conscious consumers. The higher price =more profit for the company.

Are You Facing A Vitamin Dilemna?
Article by Oscar Jones
We are all staring a shortage of essential mineral and critical vitamins in the face. Since the early 1900's this dilemna has been escalating at a critical rate. Those that should be particularly concerned are people who are on diets, especially those on low carb diets.
Chronic diseases caused by a deficiency in nutrients have got to a level that can be classed as epidemic. The vast majortiy of population above the age of 40 will, at some point, suffer from one of these chronic diseases prior to attaining retirement age. These diseases include, but are not limited to, heart disease, cancers, dementia and loss of vision.
For many years now the medical community have turned away from pro nutritionalists when they raised the subject of just how important minerals and vitamins are to our overall health and welfare.
June 2002 - Journal Of The American Medical Association
An announcement was made as follows:
"Suboptimal intake of vitamins should be seen as a risk factor for chronic disease".
Basically translated this means that today's foods contain a lot less nutrition although we actually require more vitamins and minerals today than we have ever required before in the history of mankind.
In this article I will show how this has been possible and provide you with some steps which will enable you to prevent you from becoming a victim.
All plants provide the initial sources of every mineral and vitamin for every single creature. Even those animals who only consume meat are consuming the vitamins within the meat which were initially eaten by something further down the food chain.
The plants creat minerals and vitamins from soil nutrients. If the soil is reacher then they will contain a greater amount of vitamins and minerals. On the flip side, if a vegetable is grown in poor quality soil then it will contain far fewer essential vitamins and minerals.
The Effects Of Commercial Farming
Commercial farming really started to expand as the ability to transport the produce to new markets increased - trains, then trucks. This was a boon for consumers. Now they didn't have to grow their own vegetables. And they could enjoy produce that was either out-of-season or wasn't able to grow in their area.
As these commercial growers continue to use the same field time and time again the soil loses its richness. The then degrades the nutritional value of the crops which are grown in it. They have countered this by using chemical firms who have developed chemicals to enable foods to be grown in low quality soil.
Still There Are Problems
The crops that are being produced may look good but the nutrients are not present in them to such a great extent as before. On top of this they will also contain an element of the chemicals that they were grown in. This results in our bodies requiring more vitamins to enable us to deactive the produced toxins.
Genetic Engineering
Genetic engineers have created vegetables that are more disease resistant, that grow faster, are more visually attractive, and are easier to harvest. For example: a new tomato was developed for growers primarily to take a 5-mile-per-hour impact from the faster picking machines. Tough skin tomatoes - you've probably had some. Nothing is being done to increase the nutrient levels of the plants - or to enrich the soil.
Some vegetables and most fruits you buy in the store are picked before they're ripe, and often chemically treated so they ripen on the way to the grocer's shelf. This gives the produce a lot longer shelf life - less waste. As you probably know, produce picked at it's ripe peak contain maximum nutrients - but spoil quickly. Vine ripened, fresh produce can be quite unprofitable for the grower and grocer.
WHAT DO WE DO TODAY?
1. Make fresh, whole fruits, vegetables, and grains a larger part of your daily diet. These are the absolute best quality vitamins and minerals you can buy. Eat them raw, uncooked as much as possible. If necessary, cook slowly at low heat to keep the nutrients at the highest possible levels. Simply put - the less processing the better. Most people do not eat even the minimum recommended amounts, yet we all need much more than that today.
2. Grow some of your own produce - in a yard garden, patio pots, or inside the home in window pots. It's fun, very easy, decorative, puts oxygen in the air and the taste and nutrition is just tons better than store-bought.
3. We all should invest in good vitamin supplements each day. Even nutrition experts, who eat an "ideal" diet, take vitamin supplements. A good vitamin will require you to take 3 large tablets or six medium size tablets or capsules per day minimum. Anything less is a waste of money.
4. Look for organically grown produce at your grocery store or health food store. Generally this produce will contain the much higher levels of nutrients - as they did a century ago - without the chemicals. They cost more but you get a LOT MORE nutrients and much more succulent flavor than commercially grown produce.
