For years, the sleek silver can of Diet Coke was a comforting part of my routine. It promised the same crisp taste and sugar-free satisfaction every time—until a simple question made me rethink everything. “Have you ever thought about what’s in that can?” a friend asked, and I realized I never had. Listen now to find out what’s really inside a can of Diet Coke! 🔗 Read more: What Is Really In A Can Of Diet Coke? 👉 https://reluctantlowcarblife.com/what-is-really-in-a-can-of-diet-coke/ #ReluctantLowCarbLife #DietCoke #ArtificialSweeteners #HealthyLiving #NutritionFacts #LowCarbLife #HealthTips #DietSoda

hi this is Anita from reluctant low carb
0:09
life this month we're talking a lot
0:11
about addictions alpress foods and
0:14
basically talking about why we believe
0:18
in real food versus Alti processed food
0:21
today I want to talk about an Alti
0:23
processed food but an Alti process what
0:24
I drink it's called Coca-Cola sure many
0:28
of you out there know Coca-Cola maybe
0:30
drink Coca-Cola and you might ask
0:32
yourself the question why is Coca-Cola
0:34
or Coke so addictive do the ingredients
0:37
make it so well the answer to that is
0:41
yes the ingredients make it so but the
0:43
answer is also that cocacola is made to
0:46
be addictive the if you go on to the
0:49
Coca-Cola company's website and you go
0:52
you go and you read their Vision I want
0:54
you to hear what the Coca-Cola's company
0:55
vision is our vision is to craft the
0:58
brands and choice of drinks
1:00
that people love to refresh them in body
1:03
and spirit and done in ways that create
1:05
a more sustainable business and better
1:07
shared future that makes a difference in
1:10
people's lives communities and our
1:12
planet now I'm not sure who wrote their
1:15
Vision but I have yet to figure out how
1:19
Coca-Cola can refresh people in body and
1:22
spirit anyone who's been addicted to
1:24
Coke knows that coke especially Diet
1:27
Coke can be extremely highly addicted
1:29
Ive I don't know of any ingredients in
1:32
there which can refresh or is good for
1:34
your body or your spirit and a lot of
1:37
their brands which they have besides
1:39
they do have water yes smart water but
1:42
you know smart water is not their main
1:44
brand their main brand is cocacola and
1:46
Sprite and Diet Coke and Coke Zero those
1:50
are their main brands that they sell so
1:54
basically what Coke is saying is we want
1:56
to sell Coke to everybody around the
1:59
world
2:01
and while we're doing it we're going to
2:02
pretend that we are refreshing their
2:04
body and spirit and then they say that
2:07
will make a difference in people's lives
2:10
communities and our planet
2:12
now if you look at a lot of the garbage
2:16
which is in the ocean and other places a
2:17
lot of it's plastic water bottles and a
2:19
lot of it is Coke cans and Coke plastic
2:22
bottles so first of all I don't see how
2:24
they're making a difference in people's
2:26
lives communities and our planet you
2:28
know Cokes mission is to be basically is
2:31
to be popular they want to be one of the
2:35
top drinks in the
2:37
world and they want to be everywhere in
2:40
the world they want everyone to be
2:43
drinking Coke they don't care if you're
2:45
addicted they don't care if it's good
2:47
for your health they don't care if it's
2:49
good really for your body or your soul
2:52
what they care about really is how much
2:55
coke they can sell and where they can
2:57
sell
2:58
it they want to make sure that you are
3:01
drinking the coke you know um there's a
3:04
couple reasons why Coke and I'm I'm not
3:06
talking about Diet Coke specifically but
3:08
let's just talk about Coca-Cola
3:10
specifically is addictive one is the
3:12
sugar the other is of course the
3:14
caffeine both two highly addictive
3:18
substances the third is the Fizz that
3:20
you have the carbonation that is also
3:23
addictive and then when you have the
3:25
diet soda you have the artificial
3:27
sweeteners which can also be highly
3:30
addictive so pretty much
3:32
everything is in cocacola is addictive
3:36
so you know you have the combination of
3:37
sugar caffeine carbonation and then on
3:41
top of that you have a bunch of other
3:43
chemicals that nobody really knows what
3:46
they do that they also put into the
3:47
drink to make sure that it is even more
3:51
addictive than probably what it needs to
3:53
be or should be and that because it goes
3:56
back to co Coca-Cola's Mission or vision
3:59
for the
4:00
company they want to make sure that you
4:04
love the drink and it will refresh you
4:06
in body and spirit so they basically
4:10
really are out to get you addictive
4:12
because the more you drink of coke the
4:15
more money they make and the more they
4:17
can spread Coke around the world the
4:19
more that money that they as a company
4:22
are going to
4:24
make so this really comes down again to
4:27
what we've been talking about with Alti
4:29
processed food foods that the companies
4:31
that are making the Alti processed
4:34
foods really want to let you believe
4:38
that they're doing it for your health
4:40
that they're doing it to make you happy
4:42
that they're doing it for your own
4:44
happiness and your own good but in truth
4:46
they know they are not they know that
4:49
what they are giving you is something
4:50
which is highly addictive but they don't
4:53
care because of the fact that for them
4:56
it's about money it's about profit
4:59
overhead health and profit over people
5:03
