Coca-Cola: A healthy version? Coca-Cola adds fiber to its classic soft drink

Coca-Cola is a big global brand. Many people love to drink this beverage because its high sugar content is extremely addictive. Coca-Cola has created a “healthier” version of the drink, called Coca-Cola Plus. It is currently only available in Japan. It is a zero-calorie Coke with added fiber, aimed at health-conscious consumers. Because it has added fiber, which aids digestion, many think the drink is healthy.

People believe that adding fiber to junk food will automatically make it healthy, but what people don’t know is that fiber is added to artificial sweeteners, which can wreak havoc on the body. People need 25 to 30 grams of fiber a day, and most people are not getting their daily dose. There are many other healthier options for fiber, such as lentils, broccoli, pears and quinoa. Our daily fiber intake does not need to come from Coca-Cola.
