The high fructose: corn syrup in soda pop and many other things such as baked goods is a major health danger. Research indicates that people who drink diet soda actually gain more weigh than those who drink regular soda. Also, artificial sweeteners in diet soda may be toxic to the brain. Your friend would do well to visit a clinical psychologist and nutritionist. Peace and good health.
