No wonder Mormons are so depressed! They are now linking regular and diet sodas to 30% higher rates of depression. Apparently the diet drinks are even more to blame for this epidemic. Intrestingly enough people who regularly drink coffee are 10% less likely to have depression. So much for the word of wisdom. Diet Coke is like an addictive drug to most Mormons and they would be better off switching it out for coffee.

I changed over to coffee, caffeine pills and high caffeine drinks. I quit diet soda in august. I have never felt better. caffeine is so good for my brain and heart. diet colas have phosphoric acid which erodes teeth and bones. If you have to have soda always read the label. So far I noticed phosphoric acid in coke, pepsi, and dr.pepper. and some flavors of gatorade

Yep. Aspartame - from Donald Rumsfeld, the man who redefined torture and dropped the US to the level of global thug.

He made sure the FDA forced this dangerous chemical onto the market so he could profit.

Have you ever had diet soda before? I'd be depressed too if thats what I had to drink!

yeah, diet coke is swill, tried it--once.

Gaaah!
