I use to be a regular soda drinker before I was first diagnosed with cancer in 2003; then when I started chemo, it changed the flavor of a lot of foods, and soda tasted "metallic" to me. I gave it up when I was on chemo. Then a few months after my taste buds returned to normal, I tried it again and while it no longer tasted "metallic" to me, it didn't taste as good as it use too. After a few more months I gave it up for good and I do not miss it. I have noticed my acid reflux symptoms improved a lot not drinking it also.
Hi Ann: Goof blog, so important to remember. I don't abuse coffee or diet sodas, but do believe they are not good for you. Just read an article about how the energy drinks are being blamed for depression, I agree. Water is so cheap, even bottled water, I carry a bottle arong with me all the time. Once in awhile I crave a diet pepsi, but am going to eliminate that too. Thanks for the info, Diane
Never averaged more than 3 a week but it's been months since my last one. My 87 y/o husband gets upset when I don't have some on hand at home. Is it worth still trying him to change?
