Any soda junkies out there?

Wow Gilbert! So glad things are working out for you. I quit drinking sodas (regularly) many years ago and it has been a plus. I can't get my wife to stop drinking the damn diet coke though. I keep telling her it is poison so keep the life insurance up! I bought some of the Mexican coke to use with a shot of rum every now and then. I still have to be careful of the carbs though or glucose shoots up to 300 pretty quick. The best I've ever felt was when I was basically on the Atkins diet. It also seemed to improve mental acuity a good deal.

You're correct about the diet coke, it's just as bad OR WORSE than regular coke. I use the "diet" coke to enhance the flavor of the Crown Royal but I use very little and ONLY once a week. So, in essence, I drink 1 1/2 small diet cokes a week. Otherwise I don't drink anything that's sweet or that even tastes sweet, not even 100 percent fruit juice (because it contains sugar). Water and more water.
I don't see a problem with drinking one (and only one) "regular" coke each week but one coke is hardly worth the trouble so I choose to drink NONE!!
