Ditch the wheat and your health improves substantially. A wheat-free diet has been associated with many benefits including weight loss, alleviation of type 2 diabetes, recovery from ulcerative colitis and celiac disease, improvement in cholesterol, improvement in bone density, reduction of inflammation and rheumatoid arthritis pain. Check out a book called "Wheat Belly" for more details.

Now that it's been 10 months I am pretty much having a can a day, and I want to quit it! My goal is to gradually reduce the amount I have by first: not finishing a can and dumping the rest, second: eventually switch to one every other day then third: have coke only on special occasions. I am just on my first step, and doing that quite well but have not managed to start the second step. I'll keep trying!

I just arrived to this article from your health challenge article, and I must say.... I am going to finish the can of cokes that I have already bought, since offcourse I don't want to throw money away... and I am really going to try to just switch to water, I bet I could eat more too, with all that weight I'd be saving, hehe.

But Dr. Chi-Tang Ho, professor of food science at Rutgers University has uncovered evidence that our addiction to canned drinks is directly linked to diabetes because of the high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS). HFCS is a sweetener found in many foods and beverages, including non-diet soda pop, baked goods, and condiments. It is has become the sweetener of choice for many food manufacturers because it is considered more economical, sweeter and more easy to blend into beverages than table sugar. Some researchers have suggested that high-fructose corn syrup may contribute to an increased risk of diabetes as well as obesity, a claim which the food industry disputes. Until now, little laboratory evidence has been available on the topic. [...] [...] Wow, this is very bad news considering my complete and utter addiction to Coke.

Well, if we always were looking at how things are bad for you we would be wrapped up in cotton in a basement living off (your favorite) scallops and drinking warm water only. I am not as health conscious as I ought to be, but I sure enjoy life :) I drink 6-10 cans of Coke a day, I switched to Diet Coke a few years back but have yet to see any weight changes. I usually have a jug of water in front of me while working as well though because sometimes the sweetness from even the Diet Coke is too much. I have always been a Coke freak, and I am always trying to get my American friends to bring over new Coke flavors when they visit here. I even asked one of my Japan based friends to bring over one of the cucumber Pepsis, Cucumber Pepsi sounds too weird so I wanted to try one :) Kim:) Have a Coke and a smile…

This is far worse than sugar. Sugar is bad but when they made this change coke became more addictive and damaging. You can find coke with sugar in Mexico and in some US stores featuring food from Mexico. Actually US coke contains high fructose syrup not sugar. This is far worse than sugar.
