Drinking diet sparkling drinks makes you gain weight because they stimulate your appetite.

This is false. Excess weight is gained when you take in more energy (or kilojoules) than your body burns, no matter where this energy comes from. We all know that diet sparkling drinks contain minimal kilojoules. The Coca-Cola Company’s Health and Wellness Advisory Council recently investigated a wide body of research into the sweeteners used in our diet drinks and concluded that the scientific literature does not support the theory that diet drinks stimulate appetite and found that diet drinks can be beneficial as part of a calorie controlled diet.

How your favourite drink contributes to your overall energy intake

It's true that all foods and drinks can fit within a balanced diet - as long as you watch portion sizes, stay within your daily energy needs and ensure you’re getting a good variety of foods and drinks.

Below is table with the DI and energy values of some of our drinks to help you understand how your favourite drink contributes to your overall energy intake.

	ENERGY per 250ml	%DI per 250ml
Coca-Cola	450	5
Diet Coke	3.8	0.1
Coca-Cola Zero	3.5	0.1
Sprite	440	5
Sprite Zero	12	0.1
Powerade Berry Ice	328	4
Powerade Light Citrus Breeze	115	1
Goulburn Valley Orange Juice	440	5
Nestea Iced Tea Peach	345	4
Pump	0	0

Please note, DI reference values are based on an average male/female adult diets and do not necessarily relate to the needs of children. Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) have directed food and beverage manufacturers to use the one value for an average adult, rather than separate figures for each age group. According to FSANZ, to incorporate reference values for these age groups, where they exist, would be complex, costly and impractical.

The %DI values that appear on our new labels are based on an average adult diet providing 8700kJ. Your individual DI will depend on your gender, weight, age and activity levels.
