Diet Soda Addiction
Vigo:
Like Popsicle said, the research is mixed, but I think artificial sweeteners in excess is much worse for you than real sugar in excess. Best to just keep everything in moderation though. I average probably I was averaging a 3 sodas a day for the last few years and found I gained about 20 pounds in that time. I recently throttled down to 0-1 sodas a day and already lost half that weight.
Free Soda at work makes it hard to completely abstain. My company also has those coke remix machines now, so when I visit a restaurant, it is hard for me to stay away from it. :lol
I personally have been buying those fancier juices as my crutch. White Cranberry strawberry, kiwi strawberry, banana orange Tangerine, etc. Yum.
SNAAKE:
I am more addicted to carbonated anything. club soda+random juice works too. its probably better than soda I know that much.
love pepsi tho. wish I could have one everyday. but at that rate I probably lose my teeth and get fat.
lilshawn:
build yourself a carbonator. all you need to do is source a tank (available at some wine making supply places.)
ive been thinking of going this route...making heatlthy soda and all.
i read this i'ble a while back and have been pondering it ever since'

it's as if i'm drinking a bottle of food coloring. :dunno

I recently went up to USA and I can say that USA versions of coke and pepsi have waaaaay to much sugar I had to drink water to stop my mouth being so syrupy
That said I tried Dr Pepper and it was pretty good but down in Australia when it was released it taste like cough syrup and didn't do well so i'm not sure why there was such a huge difference taste wise for that (I don't think it's sold any more it's not available at the supermarkets from what i've seen)
Ginsu Victim:
Dr Pepper is the nectar of the gods here.
