Next Time You Reach for That Diet Soda!
 

Please note that the article states at the bottom that the aspartame part was not written by Gessner, but transcribed by her. Her only work was the part about water.

This is not to discount what was said, but there is no attribution that can be followed up.

Every evening I say to myself.

Self, do you want a diet coke or a Martini?

I know I have nearly killed myself dancing on tables and tripping over things with a couple Martini's.

So I choose the diet coke.

We all have to go some way.

Geeezzzzzzz

Should have changed your way years ago. It's like the 70 year old smoker that was just told you have lung cancer. Why quit now

I try to never drink any sodas. Mostly beer and sometimes water.

Don....my favorite one of that name. Weren't you born in Ohio?

It's called POP, honey.

In much of New England, all carbonated beverages (coke, root beer, etc) are called "tonic" except ginger ale which is called ginger ale.
