Causes weight gain!: This will have no immediate effect BUT I strongly advise avoiding Coke Zero. It's sweetened with aspartame and acesulfame (at least in the US; you don't say where you live). Ironically, many studies have proven artificial sweeteners are associated with increased obesity and increased risk of diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease. I advise avoiding them.
