I got a "sample" size bottle today at the pig. It tastes like diet coke. Yes, I now water is better for me - and I do drink it. I do, however, have a diet soda daily.
Weird... I've never even heard of this. It's kinda neat though, since pop zaps all those things from your bones to begin with. I wonder if the benefits are legit or insignificant?
I'm pretty sure that adding calcium to diet coke, containing phosphoric acid, would result in the production of the salt calcium phosphate, which in all likeliness would be an undesired result. Oh well, would be nice if we DIDN'T have to have our bones eaten away by drinking a diet coke. The phosphoric acid is there to produce a "tangy" flavor. However, many non cola sodas don't have it.
I may be getting my chemistry facts mixed up though, but that's the first thing I thought when I read that.
I hate to burst anyones bubble. But I LOVE Diet Coke and prediet was drinking a lot of it. Now I try to keep it at one...but need to cut it out completely. Diet Coke and the Diet Coke plus contain Aspertaine and (i'm spelling it wrong) is recognized by your body the same as sugar which causes your insulin to spike...just like sugar. It can keep you from losing well. So says the Dr. I recently saw. ;P
Sometimes, I'd just like to drink something other than water! Thank God for diet soda! I especilly love Diet Barq's rootbeer, but I'll give this Diet Coke Plus a try.....why not include something healthy with my daily soda fix!
I am with Sharon. I literally haven't had one since Dec. 28th. Do NOT miss it at all. A big glass of water with lemon does the job for me now! (and I know that is one of the reasons why everything "clicked" this time.....cutting the junk out)
But - having said that, for those who have to have it, at least they're trying to make it not so bad for you.
I have to say I used to be a regular coke addict, then I switched to diet sodas. I haven't had a soda in a year? I have no clue. I am happy to say that my life is much better without having to pay for overpriced, oversweetened, fizzy water.
I used to drink diet soda. I didn't know why I had headaches alot. I cut it out completely in January. No more headaches.
WATER RULES
I wish I could... I've tried.. I will have to try again. I can go one day.. then the next I have terrible headaches. I can go as far as one every other day.
There was a time I would drink up to 5 regular cokes a day! I love Dr Pepper - it's like crack for me!!
Sharon .. where do you live? my inlaws are in central WI - close to it.. in a nothing town... outside of Neillsville.
I used to drink a LOT of soda - I have been baby stepping the elimination of it - I drink diet soda now and I am just at a few a week now - that really is a huge step for me. Between the coffee and the soda - I used to live on caffiene.
Charbar - the headaches may be from the caffiene withdrawal.
But - I think I will give the diet coke plus a try........
