Diet beverages: Nutrition Facts and Calories
This category covers a range of sugar-free or low-sugar carbonated drinks, often marketed as diet or zero-sugar alternatives to traditional soft drinks. Examples include diet cola, diet lemonade, and flavoured diet waters. These beverages typically use artificial sweeteners to provide a sweet taste without the calories associated with sugar. When examining the packaging, the ingredient list will indicate the presence and type of sweeteners used, such as aspartame, acesulfame K, or sucralose. The nutrition label is particularly relevant for this category, as it will show the absence of sugars and carbohydrates. Salt content is also declared on the nutrition label; the NHS Eatwell Guide advises that adults should have no more than 6g of salt a day. As these products are typically sugar-free, they do not contribute to free sugar intake, which the government advises should not exceed 5% of total dietary energy. All values are shown per 100 g so products can be compared.
