John Tesh, Dwight, Coca Cola and Grasshoppers

So I go to staff meeting on Wednesday and this guy reads this article from John Tesh that describes in detail the effects that sodie pop has on your body.( my favorite part is the part about phosphoric acid not allowing you to puke up all the sugar.)  Now I'm not positive but I'm pretty sure I was born with a Coca Cola webbed to my hand. Literally ....It's nothing for me to drink 6-10 bottles a day and not even think about it. Since I was knee high to a grasshopper. So...combine that with the fact that I can't remember the last time I drank a glass of water I've decided to give it up for 7 days and see how I feel. ( Just pop not caffeine) an addicts got have his fix.) I figure one vice at a time... So we'll see how it goes. You may want to stay out my way this weekend.  And If you see one in my hand  pull a Dwight and knock it out.

PS. I've made it a little over 24 hours so far.. and so good.

WOW! That was good Pete. I have been wanting to give up pop this just might do it for me.

My prayers will be with you and those that you may come in contact with over the next 6 days. Good luck.

Thanks Pete! Great article and blog. I don't drink much pop because I realized I never feel good when I drink it, maybe a can every once in a great while. Now, I guess I know why I felt so awful. Thanks and Good Luck. It's amazing how much better you feel when you trade soda pop for water. :)

hey pete, this is the first time i've heard about this, and i'm cheering you on. after taking my nutrition class i finally convinced josh to give up soda last summer, and he says that he sleeps a lot better and just feels better overall. he still drinks clear pop and koolaid, and now he drinks more water, which is a lot healthier.

however, he has started drinking a couple sodas a day again, and now he's back to getting bad sleep and being grumpy all the time. maybe you should show him that article!
