Soda May Age You as Much as Smoking

I drink (diet) soda because I need caffeine in the mornings. I am not a morning person and never have been. Without caffeine, I will not be mentally alert before 11am.

I hate the taste of coffee, so soda it is.

How about tea?

Twice the caffeine of cola, but half the caffeine of coffee.

Search Amazon for penguin mints. I used them to wean off coffee as an experiment (now I drink coffee again these days). It takes about 3 penguin mints to equal one cola beverage.

Coffee is an acquired taste, not sure anyone likes it at first. Diet soda is just as bad for you as regular soda and has also been linked to diabetes and obesity.

If that were true, coffee would never have become a beverage anywhere.
