[Diabetes-talk] Coke 0 type drinks

Fri Apr 24 17:18:22 UTC 2015

For those who put pop/soda on their grocery lsts as a weekly staple,
that's scary.  However, I think the key here is moderation.  I went to
Taco Bwell and had a diet pepsi with lunch.  Can't remember when I had
the last pop.  I don't feel like I'm suicidal because I might only
drink a pop once every several months though.  This does, however,
becomes expensive buying it on a weekly basis.
