Cola is a carbonated soft drink; the figures here describe a sugar-containing version rather than a sugar-free version. It mainly provides water and carbohydrate, with the carbohydrate present as sugars. Per 100g, it contains 174 kJ of energy, 11g of carbohydrate, 11g of sugars and 0g of fat.
Sugars provide energy, so the sugar content is relevant for people monitoring their sugar or energy intake. Sugar-containing drinks can also contribute to tooth decay, particularly when consumed frequently. Cola provides only trace amounts of protein and no fibre, and is not a substantial source of vitamins or most minerals. Full nutritional figures are in the tables below.
