Artificial caramel coloring is supposedly bad.  I read that it might be eliminated?  My mom said she'd never drink Coke again after her dad showed her how it ate rust off a bumper.  She said think of your colon. 

I don't drink Sprite, Sierra Mist, etc. that has sodium benzoate, another supposedly bad thing for you.

I was hooked on Diet Dr. Pepper Cherry but aspartame gives me hives and shooting pains in my head.  Plus I read that aspartame buildup has been found on cadaver brains.

I drink a naturally flavored carbonated seltzer water, a bit better.  I make unsweetened or naturally sweetened tea.

I had a co-worker who drank 3 to 4, 16 fl. Oz Dr. Peppers every night at work.  He was 390 lbs. at 5-10 ft.

I asked him if he thought that those drinks contributed to his weight gain and he said for sure, but he was addicted to Dr. Pepper and could not stop.  I broke it down; I said that those drinks will take your life, first by giving you diabetes, then ulcer and uncontrollable bleeding thru your rectum.  Before the end comes you might lose your leg or foot, or maybe just an old fashion heart attack.  I have not seen him for years but I am for sure he is cursing my name.

You miss understood, he is addicted, and he has no control. That means Dr. Pepper has robbed him of his control. He is a Dr. Pepper junky.

That seals the deal as far as I am concerned. It is time to do a Leveraged Buy Out on Pepsi and Coca-Cola, fire everybody, sell off the assets, and walk away with a nice tidy sum.

I know, it is hard work, but somebody has to do it because this is the only way to build a strong economy.

Gave up all sodas ( it was difficult), along with giving up junk food, and cutting back drastically on going out to eat.  I am saving more money and have lost weight.  Think about how much money is spent on these things.
