Coca Cola can kill

well has any of us given up coke or reduced the intake much???

I've been drinking more of it in the past year, but I don't often have the full sugar one. I would say that the most I drink a day is a litre and a half. Saying that, I've recently developed a love for lemonade and lime cordial, so it's going down.

fair play Kim, i need to sort out my intake, i would drink 2 litres in 12 hours when im working on shift, need to find something to replace it with lol

Try the Zero one - I was unsure at first but there really is very little difference, except less sugar content.

I read on the BBC website recently that drinking one or more sugary soft drinks a day is linked to an increased risk of diabetes. I've given up drinking them altogether after reading that, even though I didn't drink as many as one a day. I now usually only drink water or tea, with an occasional orange juice and soda water if I want something sweet.

Yes, they are. Thanks for the correction, I've altered my post now :)

Start by replacing one bottle/can with a bottle of water and then 2 and so on... eventually you won't even miss the fizzy drinks
