You ever had real CocaCola? If you buy it in Canada it's made with cane sugar, not corn syrup...

All the Mexican Taquerias here have them. I guess the Mexican glass bottled ones still use cane sugar as well.

I cant tell any difference really. The glass keeps the drink nice and cool though.

I used to drink diet coke (aspertaime) and I would get panic attacks a lot. I stopped drinking diet coke or anything with aspertaime several years ago. I didn't think that the diet coke was causing the attacks, but I now see that it probably was. I haven't had any attacks in years.

This is exactly why I gave up on Aspartame, years back in college I would drink diet coke regularly and then would suffer from twitches all day along. I did some studies on my own and this was before days of internet and found out how harmful it was and gave up on it for good.

This is why I drink mostly water and beer/vodka.

Cheap vodka will make you blind, but the good stuff isn't bad for you!

I've totally changed the way I eat.. Hope it's for the better. I use sugar or stevia, and stay away from HFCS. Trying to eat natural takes some work, but not too much.

If you are using sugar, try and use raw like demerrera, turbinado, jaggery etc. at least you let your body consume more useful minerals that way and they taste good as well, Stevia rules, its the best ever, its totally natural and good for you.

Exactly and its a probiotic as well, also totally safe for diabetics with a sweet tooth like myself. For years I was off any kind of desserts as I refuse to take artificial sweetners. It was tough life as my wife is an accomplished pastry chef on her spare time and that was a torture till I discovered Stevia and Japtose.
