Diet Coke is the Devil

Diet_coke

I am concerned. I love Diet Coke. I heard years ago that it pickles your brain and makes you ill. But the person who told me was one of the most sickly people I have ever known. And since they weren't drinking it - why should I take their advice?

But latest research indicates that there are more illnesses related to Aspartame - the stuff that makes Diet Coke sweet - than any other complaint to the FDA. Was it the grapevine that said 75% of all complaints to the FDA are to do with Aspartame?

So, last week I decided to come off the Coke. That lasted three days.

As I was drinking my diet coke today, someone who reads one of the publications from my office wrote in with an article about how poisonous Aspartame is. It must be a sign. 

Will my memory come back and will my ability to remember people's names (which I don't remember ever having - then again I have been drinking diet coke for a long time) come back if I quit?

Diet Coke, I hate you. But I love you really. Leave me alone. You are the devil. Evil Coke.

Water, please taste better. Make my taste buds dance. I need to appreciate mother nature's nectar more.

Thank God for clean water - and drink more of it. Thats what I will do.
