5. I used to consume soft drinks about as much as most people.

Over time I went back and forth between diet and regular.

Then, in the early 1990s, my younger son would consume soft drinks to the exclusion of other, better things. So I stopped buying soft drinks of any kind. At first, I was genuinely resentful. Why should he have control over what I consumed? But after a while I got used to it, and honestly stopped missing them. On occasion, I've been at something where beverages are available, and for me the soft drinks are essentially invisible.

Oh, and for what it's worth, the chemicals in diet drinks tend to leach calcium from the bones. Hmmm. Women are generally the major consumers of diet soft drinks. Is there any surprise that there is essentially an epidemic of osteoporosis?
