      Scary stuff!! SO very glad I quit that habit. In the past almost 3 months, I have had 3 sodas, diet of course.

      I used to drink a 2 liter a day!! I was waiting for a heart attack and diabetes.

        I once had a boss who was this tiny little woman. She was only about 4'10" and weighed in at a whopping 95lbs on a fat day. She was trying to kick the diet Coke habit because of this very reason. She said her doctor told her that the cola was robbing her body of not only potassium but phosphorus and was causing her all kinds of problems. Eww....I'm glad I don't drink that much of it any more.
