NUTRITIONIST'S INSIGHT

A 300 mL can of Thums Up Zero Sugar adds nothing to your calorie or carb count, so it is a straightforward swap for classic Thums Up, which carries about 126 calories and 31g of sugar in the same size. The label lists caffeine but not how much, so people who limit caffeine, or who are pregnant, should count it as a caffeinated cola. The FDA cites 400mg a day as an amount not generally associated with negative effects for most adults. The WHO's 2023 guideline advises against relying on non-sugar sweeteners for long-term weight control, so use it to step away from sugary drinks and keep water as most of what you drink.
