I heard third hand that Diet Mtn. Dew contains a chemical used as a fire retardant.  I still drink it though.

Diet 7up is one of the most addictive drinks going this side of the pond.  7up is cheap too which makes it harder to pass by.

I'm not sure what it is doing to my insides, but it sure acts like a diuretic.   :o

Coke Zero is another nice drink.  Not sure if the cocaine is present in modern drinks, but it is sure addictive.

I find when I am home in the US I drink diet Pepsi, yet in the UK diet Pepsi is too sugary, but diet coke isn't and visa-versa.   

Mountain Dew tastes more like mountain spew here, and my guess it has something to do with the available chemicals.   :lol

I haven't had a soda since January 6, 2008. Before that, i was a soda fiend. You can do it.

 I strongly suspect my Grama's mini-stroke was caused by artificial sweeteners.   She stopped using them, and has been fine since.  Anything with Aspartame in it gives me a headache quite quickly.   Some people may be less sensitive to it... however, super-saturation of these things cant be good at all.  They are not natural.

 I was a Coke-Classic fiend for years.  I was downing quite a few cans per day.

 Problem with me, is that Im gluten & dairy intolerant.. and even with my best efforts, my food allergies cause problems with absorption of needed nutrients.   Soda was stripping most of the calcium from my system.  Teeth were getting stained and major cavities, fingernails getting more brittle, and other negative effects.

 I stopped drinking Coke for about a month or so now.  Ive dropped about 20lbs, and my pants are like 2 sizes too big.  :)    Amazing that all my gut was just from Coke alone.  (I eat very healthy, and stay away from high fat foods)  My teeth are whiter, my nails are stronger, and I feel better too.

 I drink fruit juices, almond milk, lemon ice tea, water... etc. now.   If I have a soda, its once per the entire day... and I dont really miss / need it anymore.  Especially knowing the negative things it does.
