Here’s a very interesting read on how bad coke is for you.  I gave up soda about a little over a year ago when I went vegan (all thanks to the book Skinny Bitch), but occasionally I do have a soda when at a restaurant.  On these rare indulgences, I opt for caffeine-free ones, either Sprite or Root Beer.  And sometimes, just sometimes, I’ll get a “natural cola” from Whole Foods when I’m in the mood for something fizzy and sweet.  Well, I suppose the time has come for me to give all that up too– one can of Coke contains 10 sugar cubes worth of sugar.  WOW!

But for all of you who have found salvation with Diet Coke (because diet must be soooo much better for you), think again.  Anything made with artificial anything can’t be good for you.
