The "Plus" Diet Coke has a higher amount of caffeine than the regular Diet Coke. All kinds of beverage, food and pharmaceutical products have higher and higher amounts of caffeine -- even candy bars and chewing gum. In these ever-higher amounts of caffeine the products have serious health risks. Most people have no idea just how much caffeine they consume daily. For example, their coffee from Starbucks has 50 percent more caffeine than home-brewed coffee and the Starbucks cups are a whole lot bigger. When nutritionists say a cup of coffee, they mean 6 ounces. The Ethic Soup blog has several good articles on the subject.
