Have you heard? Coca-Cola recently launched a new product, Coca-Cola Life. However, this new product only breathes life into Coca-Cola's dying brand, it's not any better for your health or your life! Here's why…

Let's take a look at the ingredients, and how it compares to traditional Coke…

Overall, we think you'd agree that there is not a significant difference in calories or sugar. 68 calories, and 17 grams of sugar is still an outstanding amount for 250ml of a beverage. This is still over 4 teaspoons of sugar in each can!

Now for a look at the ingredients…

Coca-Cola Life Ingredients: Carbonated water, sugar, colour (caramel E150d), natural flavourings including caffeine, phosphoric acid, sweetener (steviol glycosides).

Here's where Coca-Cola has gone wrong!

Sugar? Caramel Coloring? “Natural” Flavors? These are NOT ingredients that should be in a beverage advertised as healthy. Yes, it contains stevia, however it is the last listed ingredient. Meaning that there is a significant amount less stevia than sugar (which is listed as the second ingredient).

Take a look at why these ingredients are harmful…

In our book, we listed many of these ingredients as “EMD's“, or Everyday Micronutrient Depleters. They essentially leach, deplete, or inhibit previously ingested micronutrients from nourishing your body. So even if you eat a healthy, micronutrient rich diet, and take a balanced multivitamin supplement, companies like Coca-Cola are robbing you of essential micronutrients!

They are also tricking you into thinking you're drinking a healthy beverage, all the while, their sales are skyrocketing and profits are rising. 

Don't be duped by Coca-Cola, instead, join us in leading the Rich Food Revolution!
