Lance – I’m a total water-holic, myself. It all started when the doctor told me I couldn’t have caffeine…

I know at the high school and Jr. High here the kids in sports are not allow to drink pop during the season because it adversely effects their playing performance. So just think about how much more energy you will have. Funny thing though they still have a hugh row of pop machines in the commons area of the school. They don’t want to give them up because they are a money maker. I guess our children’s health is worth a little extra income for the school!

I’ve dramatically reduced the amount of soda I drink, I don’t keep it in the house anymore at all. I stick to coffee, tea, water and the occasional crystal light. The biggest change I’ve noticed is less heartburn, less bloating and a lot more more money in my wallet!

I gave up soda a few years back – and it was one of the best things I did for my body. Today…I’ll occasionally have one. Very limited, though. And, what has happened is that I’ve come to really desire water much more. And that’s been great (well…water, and several cups of coffee…)

Annette – Funny how our taste changes, isn’t it? There are several things I used to eat and now have no idea why I thought they were good.

I have not had much pop since I realized that it did not help my GERD problem. Giving up pop keeps the GERD problem under control along with the Pepcid I take every day.

Dave – I’m lucky I just don’t like soft drinks. I used to drink it through college then got on a sparkling water kick and have been stuck ever since. But once or twice a year – in the summer – I too, must have a root beer – IBC always!

workout mommy – So, what do you East Coasters say? (BTW, I actually usually just call it all “Coke” … like “want to go get a coke?”)
