Well, so much for the "soda is bad" theory...LOL

I'm reading Hugh Hefner's unauthorized biography from the 70s. Apparently when he first started Playboy he would just sit at his desk or in his bed and work, consuming something like 20+ bottles of Pepsi every day for years on end. He never left the house. He seems fine.

Everyone processes what they put it their body differently. Go get routine yearly physicals and make changes if necessary.

My doctor drinks Diet Coke.

See, this is exactly why I subsist solely on Soylent Green (X-treme Nacho Brrrrrrst is my favorite flavor of it!) and apricot nectar. I'm gonna live to be a million!

If you're Doctor knew any better,Diet Coke contains a poisonous Cancer causing and addicting chemical called ASPARTAME...just because someone is a "Doctor" doesn't mean they know much better..Doctors are NOT educated in Nutrition or and get very little education of it.Doctors are ONLY taught to cover the symptom (prescribing drugs) and never looking to the root of the cause.

While just because "some people" withstand some of the effects of Soda better than others doesn't disprove the epidemic of Diabetes,Heart Disease,Obesity,Cancer and Millions the of Sick people through their crappy processed diets...Majority of issues listed are caused by poor diet/processed and nutritionally DEAD food.

FOOD MATTERS! you are what you eat! Watch the Documentary 'FOOD MATTERS' it will open your eyes up to the truth

Careful; studies have shown that over time excessive finger wagging can lead to Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.

yeah,just like cracking your knuckles or joints make them swell up

Its stated that eating fresh Cherries and Oatmeal have powerful nutrients and are good for joint pain,arthritis and gout etc

So 100% of the doctors in America only prescribe drugs and don't know anything about nutrition? My doctor has actually written a few books about nutrition. I think he's had about 8 more years of formal medical training than you.

So there.

That being said, it doesn't mean you can't enjoy things, but it has to be in moderation.

Exactly.

A Martini a day eases the pain.

What kind of doctor is He? Holistic Doctor? Does he treat his patients with nutritional therapy? If so,where does he practice? If he wrote books on nutrition and treats his patients using natural uses,then he is far from a mainstream commercial Doctor I described.Of course, there are MD's who practice nutritional therapy,though it's illegal in the USA to practice nutritional therapy on Cancer.I wonder why that is..hmmm...MANY proven cases that Cancer can be cured through nutrition therapy as Cancer cannot live in an AKALINE body state and where there is oxygen in the blood.It's all about PH balance for one who lives optimal health vs living sickly all the time.

Cancer thrives in an Acidic body state...FACT,SODA is ACIDIC! A breeding ground for Cancer...Do I need to be a Doctor (for 8 years) to know this! Educate yourself...which I have done!

The biggest problem people don't understand is the Medical industry is mostly a Money racket.There is no money in healthy people.Pollute the food with GMO (genitically modified food),high fructose corn syrup,poisonous preservatives and chemicals (like Aspartame) and then you have an epidemic of malnutritioned and a sick population....Doctor's will give you a temporary drug that cures NOTHING! When in reality,it's the body that heals itself through proper nutrition.Sure,some drugs may help (temporarily),but drugs are not the solution for long term health..

you need to watch Documentaries that have a GREAT impact and will educate you...I recommend these powerful films... 'FOOD Matters (must see!).... 'Fat,Sick,and Nearly Dead' (Overweight man cures his skin disease through the power of juicing)..... 'The Gerson Miracle' (Cancer has always had a Cure)...'Dying to have known' (more Cancer cure proof)....these are REAL Medical Doctors and practioners who left the mainstream practice

But I know you probably have no interest in investing the time and research (like I did) to bother with any of this.I certainly don't need to be a Doctor to KNOW or be educated.

You sound stressed. You should take a break - go to the Mini Mego Meet in Florida. Take the edge off.

Have a Coke and a Smile.

Aspartame is not harmful.

"The legitimate attempts that have been made to confirm and replicate allegations of adverse reactions from aspartame ingestion have not been successful and the USFDA continues to consider this to a be among the most thoroughly tested of food additives and that this information continues to confirm the safety of aspartame."

Well, to be fair, they have not fully tested the effects of Aspartame on Gorns yet. You should probably stick with the ones that have high fructose Gorn syrup.

keep believing that LIE!

In 1997 there was an increase in aspartame users reporting severe toxicity reactions and damage such as seizures, eye damage and vision loss, confusion, severe migraines, tremors, depression, anxiety attacks, insomnia, etc.

The following facts shown by recent scientific research:

Aspartame (nutrasweet) breaks down into methanol (wood alcohol).

Methanol quickly converts to formadehyde in the body.

Formaldehyde causes gradual and eventually severe damage to the neurological system, immune system and causes permanent genetic damage at extremely low doses.

Methanol from alcoholic beverages and from fruit and juices does not convert to formaldehyde and cause damage because there are protective chemicals in these traditionally ingested beverages.

The most recent independent research in Europe demonstrates that ingestion of small amounts of aspartame leads to the accumulation of significant levels of formaldehyde (bound to protein) in organs (liver, kidneys, brain) and tissues.

Excitotoxic amino acids such as the one which is immediately released from aspartame likely increases the damage caused by the formaldehyde.

formaldehyde and Aspartame are both TOXINS to the body
