One day a few weeks ago I suddenly and finally lost my taste for diet soda. I know it's weird for someone who generally takes good care of herself to have been drinking so much diet soda for so long. I think of myself as smart, but I must have been in denial. :-(
Today I received an email from a website I trust with an article entitled "Artificial Sweetener Raises Lifelong Concerns". I know there are a lot of alarmists out there, but this is a real down-to-earth website. The article contained the results of a recent South African study. It named a laundry list of long-term damaging effects on the brain and body too numerous to list here. The worst part is that the effects build up over time. And of course, the more you consume the worse the effects. I remember a time when I was drinking a 6-pack of diet Coke every day at work. x(
I can't change the past. I'm not drinking diet soda anymore, and that's all I can really do. But still, I can't help wondering (and obsessing) about the damage I've already done to myself. What an idiot I am. x(
If there's anyone reading this who is still drinking diet soda, please STOP!! It doesn't even help control your weight, so it has no redeeming value.
