I will never completely give it up. Unless they quit making it. It is my treat and I deserve it, I tell myself. Heidi, you look great, healthy and I think it is ok to have something you like, every once in a while. They should take it off the shelves, if it is not safe to drink. I'm not saying it is ok to drink stuff, that is bad for us either. Maybe try something else to drink, that has a taste that you like, besides diet soda.

Yes it is lower in calories than regular soda but I really don't like the taste. I'm sure that regular soda has just as many nasty chemicals in it (I've not done any research on this but I bet it does) and I know sugar isn't good for your teeth or your body in large quantities. That's why I try to avoid sodas altogether. However, when the time comes that I do let myself have the occassional soda I always go for the full version, not the diet version.<BR/><BR/>Tom<BR/><BR/>P.S.
