I tried looking it up, I am sure there would be an immediate change though because you stop drinking it suddenly and then it starts to wear off. I don't know. I am probably just saying a bunch of crap now. It's just my thought.

LikeDays should come here to correct it.:lol:

 

Hahahaha, I havn't corrected it because it's true...

 

I'm not sure on the exact amount, I thought it was for like every soda you drank for a year, eventually you'd gain a pound from, but that sounds a little steep....

 

But since soccer's started I don't drink pop anymore--it's all fruit juice, unless I'm at work because the lemonade there is nasty and I refuse to drink water from the tap, lol... But yeah, I feel better when I'm not drinking LOTS of pop, though I do enjoy it...

 

I'm going through Sunkist withdrawls, actually....
