Can you believe how we once drank coke - or other sodas - all the time? What was that doing to our bodies????? I think I'm going to recommitt to having my family drink less sodas again. We were doing really well with it for a while and then I got lazy and started buying them again. Well, NO MORE!!!! I'll send them to this post when they ask why. Susan

Isn't it amazing? Even diet soda isn't good for you! My daughter could down soda like it was water, but since my surgery she has been drinking lots of water and she loves Diet V8 splash! Holly

HOLY COW! I have passed it on to all my coworkers and we are in awe over it. I dont buy soda anymore since surgery for my house at all........only choices to drink are low fat milk, water, apple juice and orange juice ( I only drink the first two ) I am going to try one of the examples with my kids to back up why I wont buy it anymore. I swear when I had surgery it made Coca-Cola's stock drop LOL Hugs Margo Marie

wouldn't it be great if Coke would eat body fat!!!! It eats everything else...why not? We could just pour a can or 2 liter bottle (depending on your size) over our body and it just eats the fat down to the muscle....wouldn't that be great??? Lisa S
