But it is the caffeine, not the sugar or sugar subs. Caffeine causes your arteries to spasm and close and this chokes your heart of needed blood...they open and close over and over from the caffeine.
I am telling you guys this because I was the biggest diet pepsi addict you have ever seen!!!! I could drink a case a day, no problem. I would not eat and just drink diet pepsi when I was dieting. BIG mistake!!! Be careful!!!
That said, I am trying to get used to diet pepsi caffeine free....not the same...and I miss my diet pepsi but I look at it now as some kind of poison...it was for me!
Ok, now to be silly...

eeeeeeek!! Cindy!
You overdid it with the stuff. hmm, I didn't know that about caffeine. thanks for the info.
very surprising. Maybe THAT'S why when I once took Vivarin I thought I was going to die. It was horrible.
I rarely drink soda (maybe a child-sized serving 12 oz. a week) and drink coffee even less.
