I would have to disagree with that part, I was a coke-a-holic for many years, and found myself eating ALOT more garbage when drinking coke as opposed to the diet, but maybe since I started LC, I really don't drink diet sodas at all, I guess I am just paying more attention to what I am putting in my body now and I knew caffiene was a problem for me...............
