It has only 25KJ per serve and tastes like regular cordial. So what's the catch?
Diet Rite cordial, yay or nay?

I'm waiting for sweeteners are bad for you comments 😆
Never tried the cordial but I used to love the Crisp Apple fizzy drink - and only like just over a buck per bottle - sadly now no longer!!!!!
Drink water.
But water has 0KJ, what's the catch?
Tastes foul. Fish make love in it.
The Cottee's "ZERO" range tastes better (no bitter after taste), has even less calories and often goes on sale ;)
has even less calories
Zero?
I like their raspberry and lime ones, but not the others…
sunkist is best for the orange flavour.
I love both the Diet Rite and Cottee's diet cordials, but they all give me serious heartburn.
I have a friend who is diabetic and swears by this stuff (as a treat).
The guava one in particular.
I choose ‘no added sugar’ Cotties varieties.
They didn't add sugar to sugar? Wow, it's healthy!
Try the Zero Cottees, they taste better.
I find them too sweet tasting.
Use more water
The catch is instead of sugar they use a processed chemical which they will probably find is carcinogenic in 3-5 years time.
Meanwhile the population blissfully gorges on processed grain and sugar causing inflammation across the entire body.
Guess what that causes.
and mrna jabs
probably find is carcinogenic in 3-5 years time.
or they might find sugar is carcinogenic?
There’s this theory that drinking/eating artificial sweeteners might cause people to crave more sweet tastes over all in their diet and also that it might modulate their taste to find less sweet flavours unpalatable over time. Along the lines of what is described in this article https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/artificial-sweeteners-su… not sure if this is true or not
Regardless I choose artificially sweetened drinks if I’m going to have one, which I tend to want if I’m tired. My instincts tell me it’s best to mostly drink plain water.
I have noticed that the people I know who are consistently slim drink soft drinks with real sugar, but I wonder if that’s because they are slim for other reasons and feel they don’t have to worry about it.
It makes sense, regardless of which one you drink it should be in moderation. However it has been marketed as stuff you can drink all day long without issue, so it's probably being consumed by people who used to consume full sugar soft drinks.
I could have lived off a diet of coca cola and lard when I was younger and I would have stayed slim, my metabolism took care of that. There are plenty of people though who are overweight and consuming huge amounts of sugar, as the Harvard study suggests you can't simply replace it and expect the body to be ok with that and not go hunting other energy sources if that's what it is used to
What the study completely misses is the actual "point" of the zero sugar stuff ;)
That is, some sweetners actually eliminate the "insulin spike" that you get from actual sugar, meaning you stay in ketosis (a "fat burning" state) for longer …
The way to actually interpret this study is:
"people who are on a standard diet, where insulin spikes and dips throughout the day, do not get the relief of an insulin spike from sweetners when they are in a dip, so they must use other means (ie real sugar) to feel relief from that insulin dip"If you study people in ketosis (fat burning) they do not get insulin spikes and dips throughout the day, so they will be far less likely to need relief from a dip :P
In summary, it's not actually "the sweet taste" that is driving the behaviour the study observes, but simply the fact when insulin drops, people on standard diets interpret that feeling as "being hungry/thirsty for something that will bring insulin levels back up (which some sweetners don't do)" ;)

Taste is bad
they get the fruit, wash it, collect the water, then bottle it for you to drink
Is good
Diet Rite…yes please. I tried the rest but like this stuff the best.
I make and enjoy 3-5 litres a day in summer, and at my age, I am happy to risk the Artificial Sweetener over being overweight asking for a heart attack. Nothing is proven to be Carcinogenic regardless.
It suits my taste buds better than most other lolly waters, and I am not a fan of plain water much.
So thumbs up from me. Only $3:00 for 10 lit of drink is very economical, many flavours with 50% fruit juice & low sugar content and nil added sugar. All flavors are ok but Green and Black-current are faves.
Cordials, none are perfect, nor will all satisfy everyone, and many none. But these, try them all, what you don't like send to me. Cheers.
The tropical flavour wasnt too bad
yay
