[QUOTE="Annie, post: 3122752, member: 42224"] That diet stuff is bad ju-ju. I'm not a diabetic but I do have essential tremor, and am at significant genetic risk for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, and my neurologist had a really stern talk with me at my first appointment with him about diet drinks and sweeteners of any kind. Actually processed foods of any kind. Literally, he spent 2 hours alone lecturing me on eating whole, unprocessed foods (NOT fast foods) and drinking water, tea and coffee, not soft drinks or diet drinks and no sugar or sweeteners. I gotta tell ya he scared the bejeebuz outta me. I don't wanna be a vegetable sitting in the corner of a gigantic room in watching the Price is Right with a 100 other old folks with drool running down my chin and no clue what day it is. NO THANK YOU. I had already made significant changes to my diet last year because of some health issues I'd had last year but he's made me kick it into high gear. I will NEVER touch another diet drink ever again. Thankfully, there is plenty of research out there that shows that stopping diet drinks and exercising regularly (specifically walking briskly) most days a week will undo whatever damage artificial sweetners have done to your metabolism. So, start drinking water and start walking! It really is that simple it seems. [/QUOTE]
