My story:
Used to drink soda as a kid, not constantly, just sometimes... my mom wouldn't buy sodas as a rule, only maybe for parties.
Until maybe 10 years ago I used to buy diet cola and have a can a day. One day, leaving Costco, the guy at the door who checks your receipt actually told me that stuff isn't good for you. I stopped buying it. A year or two later I tasted one and it was awful (it does go bad), and I dumped the few cans I had left.
As a test, a couple years ago I ordered a regular coke in a restaurant and didn't like it! I'm off soda, period. My sugar intake is pretty minimal, not much added sugar. I prepare almost all of my food. I do eat some chocolate, not a lot, just maybe an ounce a day.
