Coca-Cola Is Adding Fiber to Coke. Does That Make It Healthy? by Cynthia Sass When | heard about Coca-Cola Plus, a zero-calorie Coke with added fiber, | thought it was an April Fools joke | somehow missed. Especially when the company claimed this ridiculous product is meant for a "health-conscious consumer." According to Coca-Cola, one Coke Plus a day — which is currently available only in Japan — can help "suppress fat absorption" and "moderate the levels of triglycerides in the blood." Even if a double-blind study comparing Coke Plus to a placebo supported these claims, | still wouldn’t recommend the soda.
