I resolved to give up the diet coke today - after looking again at the warnings about aspartame all over the web. Are the warnings correct? I don't know. If you do know - or have a story to share - please leave a comment.
My hunch is that diet cola is dangerous stuff. But that's just a hunch.
Here's random anecdotal...

says: "Now I can’t drink Coke. It makes me unbelievably jittery. I can drink coffee, and that does not have the same effect."
It's that jittery effect that I like. My body goes cold, my face hot and my mind speeds up.
I'm trying coffee granules and fizzy water - but that doesn't speed my mind - it's just not the same. I'll have to try expresso.
It could be that this is all in my mind. That the coke and chocolate are just placebos? That it's just some sort of ritual? I drink the coke, eat the chocolate and so am in a receptive state of mind? Oh crikey - I don't know. But I feel physically different after consuming them.
There's that film - coffee and ciggarettes - mine will have to be diet cola and chocolate.
