I used to drink upwards of 5 Diet Cokes a day. I was left with constant headaches, serious dental problems, dry eye, depression, and inability to lose ANY weight despite working out in the gym 3 days a week. I haven't touched Dirt Coke in a month- since then, my weight has dropped, I have more energy, my eye issues have faded, and my depression and headaches vanished. Someone told me my bad symptoms were a result of the toxin aspartame in Diet Coke- Is that possible? If you were a former Diet Coke addict, what changes have you experienced since you quit drinking that toxic brew? I have a friend who is severely overweight, and has severe depression- The ONLY liquid she drinks is Diet Coke. Diet Cokes leaves her dehydrated, so she drinks more Diet Coke- and like a chain smoker, she goes through one after the other- sometimes drinking a 12 pack each day. I told her if she quit Diet Coke, she'd have a better chance tackling her weight and depression. She didn't believe me. The aspartame in all the Diet Coke must be the cause of her health issues. |
