I don't really feel any guilt though, as I don't drink much alcohol, don't smoke, don't drink coffee or have any other common vices. I take on board what that article says, but the effects of numerous other highly processed foods and beverages would be similar.
yep, I'm reducing the processed food that comes into my house, too! I definitely notice the difference in DS when I limit additives and food that looks far removed from its original source food.
Back on topic, though - Coke is a marketing success and a terrible use of water!
