    Most people think that drinking diet Coke or any Diet drink will make them lose weight. The exact opposite is the truth: in fact most if not all diet drinks contain an artificial sweetener called "aspartame", which is deadly dangerous! Recent studies proved that by taking aspartame, you're actually GAINING weight and intake of aspartame is also linked to lupus, multiple sclerosis, is dangerous to diabetics and causes cancer or allergic reactions. Aspartame can be hazardous to the one in 20,000 people born with phenylketonuria, which is the inability to metabolize phenylalaine (aspartame's main component) High blood levels of phenylalaine can interfere with mental function, which is why all foods containing aspartame must be labelled. Another concern: when aspartame breaks down in the body, it releases methanol, a gas that negatively affects optic nerve function and interferes with blood supply to the retina, resulting in vision loss. Additionally, aspartame can cause dizziness, headaches, epileptic-like seizures, insomnia, vertigo, rashes and anxiety.

    When you see aspartame anywhere on any foods, DO NOT buy it. If you have bought something with that substance, then just throw it out. Your health is more important than anything else!

    So Obiwan has worms and needs to drink Sodas??????

    I agree with you Richie on Diet Coke,,,,,,,that stuff is vile. I prefer a sugar, caffeine high , rather than a headache from the artifical sweetener.

    E: I try to drink lots of water, I've always hated it but I feel better when I do. I usually get a flavored water drink it then keep the squirt bottle and fill it up over and over.
    Thunder bought a water purifer (Brita) that sits in the fridge so I tend to drink much more than I would if it were plain tap water.
    My daughter never drinks pop but Ant does but he also drinks gobs of water so hopefully he will be fine.
    All I know is I want to have strong bones as I age so I will limit the soda intake.
