  • Coke Plus

    So I am study to be a registered dietitian and I'm doing a project on minerals. Since there are virtually no articles on minerals, I picked the example of Coke plus adding vitamins and "minerals". What I am finding is that the only real mineral added to Coke Plus, besides the trace mineral Zinc, is magnesium. Of all the minerals, magnesium has the smallest daily value of 400 mg a day. With some calculations, I found that there is less magnesium in an 8 oz bottle than there is in 2 tablespoons of peanut butter. I realize that no drink is going to contain all your nutrition needs but for Coke to claim added vitamins and minerals, I think as most things, it's just another gimmick. Eat healthy, it's as simple as that.On Uh, no it doesn't posted 2 years, 1 month ago 15 Responses
