quitting fizzy pop diabetes in a can

I decided a few years back to kick the coke habit.  I loved drinking the stuff and I would never go a day without drinking something bubbly and loaded with caffeine and high fructose corn syrup.
It all started when I felt a painful heart beat.  I found out it was a cardiac arrhythmia, and I thought that maybe I should stop drinking sodas and energy drinks and anything that had caffeine.
After weening myself off, well no, actually I quit cold turkey; the pain associated with my beating heart seemed to go away after just a few days.  It was then when I started to also look more deeply into the ingredients and concentrations of contained in the very popular coke a cola.
I worked with a few doctors and I knew their brains were loaded with information and figured they would be the best people to ask.  I also have a very close friend who is a Ph. D (so is his wife) and very knowledgeable in what I wanted to know.

I asked what did 38grams of sugar mean, what did high fructose corn syrup do and what about "diet" coke.  I found my answers and doing so helped me never to crave this shit again.

Ive heard, from Dr Ray Strand http://www.releasingfat.com, that you are better off if you got a cup of sugar and spoon-fed yourself 35 to 40 tablespoons of sugar.  Natural cane sugar is lower glycemic, meaning it had less of an impact on your blood sugar, you didnt get the spike.  High fructose corn syrup was a high glycemic cheap alternative sweeter.

A credible source I then went to was the Journal of American Medical Association.  Found in this link http://jama.ama-assn.org/cgi/content/full/292/8/927 I read a few other problems associated with HFCS.  Coke will help you gain weight, and you will have a higher chance of getting type 2 diabetes.

Type 2 diabetes used to be called "Adult onset diabetes" but they renamed it because so many young adults and children have started to develop diabetes.

Makes perfect sense right: dont solve the problem or warn the public, simply rename the condition.

If you took the time to read this and you have decided on your own, with the help of this blog post, to quit soda, carbonated high sugar beverages, high fructose corn syrup food, and energy drinks then Ive done my job.

Fuck you high fructose corn syrup.
