I know that soda is really bad for you, but this sentance is just not true for us Long Islanders..the water must be pure mountain Spring water...hehe....many people believe that they get cancer from drinking our water here.....

The question for me should be "Mountain Dew or Water". To me, Mountain Dew is like Spinach is to Popeye.

Meltdbutta 06-10-2002 02:23 PM

Diet Coke is to me like the ocean is to the sand...hehe
I am addicted to "DC", and it is really bad....

The addiction to diet drinks is the aspartame, a chemical, not a food substance.

Please clarify as to what type of cancer.

I am a huge water drinker but once in awhile I need caffeine. Diet Coke or coffee usually fills my craving...coffee probably does the trick a little better.
