Silver are you reading this? (She's been in denial...I'm convinced her bone density issues are related to Diet Coke...)

Karen, I'm like you were...there's no caffeine like cold caffeine - morning, noon, and night...probably 8/day. Unfortunately, I detest coffee and am allergic to tea. Diet Coke replaced an 8 Real Cokes/day habit (that's right - 960 calories of high fructose corn syrup each day for years)
