I noticed that I was being pretty affected by Diet Pepsi. I was drinking at least 2 liters a day. (eek, gag!!) I noticed that burning sensation several times, but never thought anything of it. Finally, I realized that Diet Pepsi was unhealthy for me. I thought it was the caffeine. It was really difficult for me to “come down” from it, and I’ve been Diet Pepsi free for about 3 weeks! 🙂 *cheers, applause*
This article helped me to think about whether or not the caffeine was all that was making me ill. I’ve been drinking water and natural juices, and feel much better. (However, better is very relative because of the time of year/unholy days lingering over my shoulder.)
