Let’s leave my previous Coca-Cola addiction behind– that was a dark time in my life when I look back on it.  You know how your teeth feel after you’ve downed a can?  That rough plaque that seems to form in seconds after you’re done… like you can literally feel your teeth rotting?  Still, I thought they were yummy.  I had to have at least 2 cokes a day.  Lunch and dinner.  Gotta drink my pop.  It wasn’t a real meal unless it was downed with soda.

Then I started to do my reading.  Wow.  This stuff is poison.  Only problem: It’s delicious.  What to do what to do… Well, I saw this video and it literally cured me.  I had posted it on a previous blog entry, but it’s worth checking out again.  Now, I only drink maybe 5-10 glasses of pop PER YEAR… still it’s too much to be honest, but at least it doesn’t have a hold on me anymore.

So what’s the solution?  I know… Diet soda!

I bug my family members all the time.  The research on Aspartame is nuts.  It’s on Dr. Mercola’s website– well worth it to sign up and read.

Some new information from a New Study on Diet soda drinks, and how the brain gets confused when it tastes the sweetness and doesn’t get the calories it expects.  Dr. Marie Savard says that if you are dependent on the stuff– consuming ONE DRINK OR MORE A DAY, you’re increasing your risk for Diabetes, Heart Disease, and Stroke, not to mention WEIGHT GAIN– the very thing most people who drink diet sodas are trying to avoid!   As she says, “if you are consuming one or more drinks per day, you should re-think what you’re doing.”

Watch this!

What’s the real solution?

How about some water please?

(I know– you feel like a soda, don’t you– shame on you.)
