9. I used to love Pepsi and drank at least one soda a day and used to get sick all the time

between colds, stomach viruses and feeling run down. I stopped about 5 years ago and my life turned around. I was able to deal with stress better, rarely ever got sick, and no more achy bones. I drink sparking water instead and now I can't even drink a soda occasionally. The last time was in September at an amusement park and afterwards I felt sick. I crashed an hour later and got really tired. I knew then and there no more colas for me.

My boss loves diet coke and just got diagnosed with pancreatic cancer before the diagnosis of cancer he was suffering from type 2 diabetes. I know the two are related. I used to get on his case all the time and gave him articles about diet soda but he ignored me.
