About Coca cola
Coca-Cola is a carbonated soft drink invented in 1886 by Dr. John Stith Pemberton in Atlanta, Georgia. It is a globally renowned beverage known for its signature caramel flavor, derived from its proprietary formula. Primarily consumed as a treat or refreshment, Coca-Cola provides quick energy through its sugar content but lacks significant nutritional value. A standard 12-ounce (355 mL) serving contains approximately 140 calories, 39 grams of sugar, and no essential vitamins or minerals. Its caffeine content, about 34 mg per serving, can also contribute to its stimulating effects.
Health Benefits
- Provides a quick energy boost due to its high sugar content (39g per serving).
- Contains caffeine, which may temporarily improve focus and alertness (34mg per 12 oz).
- Can alleviate hypoglycemic symptoms temporarily by rapidly raising blood sugar levels.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Store sealed in a cool, dry place. Refrigerate after opening to maintain freshness and carbonation.
