“I cut out diet soda from my life about five years ago. I came to the conclusion that I didn’t need a dose of artificial ingredients on a daily basis, and I would be much better off drinking water and plant-based beverages, such as home-brewed iced tea, hot tea (herbal and regular), and coffee during the day.
