YES: Half of a 16.9 oz coke has 5 1/2 tsp of sugar in the especially unhealthy form of high fructose corn syrup.Sugar is very addicting & nearly 2 tbsp. Is quite a bit. It also has caffeine, which is addicting.See http://www.Huffingtonpost.Com/news/sugar-addiction for good articles on sugar addiction & http://texasfarmersmarket.Org/the-hazards-of-drinking-soda/ aspartame is also addicting & unhealthy!

Yes you can: Sugar is very addicting......Try not drinking any, switch to water, if you can't you'll know its addicting. You may get headaches when trying to stop, if you fight through it, they will stop.

Coca Cola Addiction: You are probably just being indulgent of your brains desire to consume the sugar/corn syrup in coca-cola. Here is a solution: if you do something for 21 days it becomes a habit. So make a plan to cut back on coca-cola by 3 ounces each day. After a week or so, start replacing with water or unsweetened ice tea. I guarantee you will feel better from the inside.
