When I was working at Blockbuster, I'd gotten into the nasty habit of drinking upwards of 3 or more soft drinks per day. There wasn't much else available. Then I got to feeling guilty about all that sugar and found that Diet Cherry Coke is quite good!
I got to feeling it, though, so started taking filtered water with me to work. I was getting lethargic and feeling achy.
I've since read article after article on how the sugar substitute used in sodas can, when the product is allowed to get over a certain temperature (which can happen in storage or even in transit to a store), it turns into something akin to formaldehyde. It can cause all sorts of symptoms - prevalent among them, symptoms of MS. Back pain, aches, fevers, lethargy, stomach problems, heart problems, etc. Well, of *course* it would! You are embalming yourself with the stuff!
So...though I *now* drink maybe 3 or 4 12-ounce cans per week, I RARELY have even "regular" sodas anymore. I'd rather juices, water and milk. [img]smile.gif[/img]
They guy in question, though, sounds like someone hideously addicted to caffeine and sugar. I feel bad for him.
