Breaking Down the “Zero-Calorie” Claim
The “zero-calorie” label on diet soda can be misleading. Diet soda typically contains fewer than 5 calories per serving, which legally allows it to be marketed as zero-calorie.
Impact of Regular Consumption
If you drink diet soda regularly, the calories can add up, even though each serving contains only trace amounts.
Conclusion
The real caloric impact of diet soda is small, but over time, it may contribute to your daily calorie intake.
