The other plus for me will be no more trips to the stinky can return machines - in Iowa we are charged 5-cents on every can - I do have a ton to take back to the store - and then I hope that will be it! |
You should google aspartame!! Talk about eye opening!! That and MSG are two of the few things that can pass through the blood/brain barrier. I am not saying that diet drinks will effect everyone the same. But I think that they just arent good for anybody. For now its iced tea and steveia as an all natural sweetner. I feel very blessed to say that I am not in a wheel chair (yet) and I have had only one problem so far with M.S. But I do have to give myself a shot everyday.
Good luck getting off that stuff! You CAN do it!!
