Hard to believe but true.. I drank nothing but diet coke from about 1982 till about 2002. No water as bottled spring water wasn't around really then. And although I have good tap water, just didn't drink it. Use to have a 12 pack even in the car at all times.
Anyhow eventually I started to taste arsenic inside me. I swear. I looked into it and this is one of the by products (so they say, I am no expert) of what happens when your body (liver) converts and tries to metabalize aspartame.
Anyhow I drink nothing but spring water now. With either a Corona or St Pauli Girl before bed. And feel great.
Crazy huh. But in those days we didn't know. Kind of like all the guys who ate tons of margerine before they found out hydrogenated oil is prob the worst thing of anything to eat.
