low-carb sugar water

19 Apr 2004

Say what?

NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Coca-Cola Co. said Monday it will launch a soft-drink with half the carbohydrates of traditional colas this summer as the world’s largest soft-drink firm looks to capitalize on the low-carb diet craze.

I guess diet Coke isn’t good enough. Maybe it will use polyols (sugar alcohols) or something. Weird.

The problem with sugar alcohols is the Olestra type side effects if you more than one serving. I would hate to think what a 20oz bottle would do.

Yeah, I’m not sure why low-carb would be preferable to no-carb. Bizarre. Looks like Pepsi’s making one, too.
