On a serious note, don't drink too much caffeine... for me it is a digestive system kick-start, and if I get too much... the less said the better.

As a type II diabetic I'd say the decrease in sugar intake is also a major benefit.

My personal opinion is that the prevalence of HFCS (High Fructose Corn Syrup) in most domestic products is a contributor but some studies (I won't name the funders :D) say that the similarity of the curves showing increase in Diabetes cases and increase in HFCS use is purely coincidental. :rolleyes:
What? Do you mean to say that over processed sugars might hurt our metabolic systems? Hearasay! :p

I guess I'm saying that sugar from corn is not my favorite thing...

Heck, going from cane to beets was a bad idea :D (look it up)

It's great that you've decided to quit soda, and I would ask everyone to do the same, but it doesn't mean that you should depend too much on caffeine. Keep a limit of say two glasses of coffee on daily basis, if you want it regularly. Too much of caffeine is also not good for health.
I really appreciate the thought of quitting on soda. Recently, I've volunteered in social service for Bellwood which is an addiction center in Ontario *link*. There I met many people who are addicted to toxic materials and sexual problems, but I was shocked to see people who are addicted to certain kinds of food and they are suffering because of it. Soda, Chips, or say junk foods are killing people; the thought gave me sleepless nights.
I cannot actually tell if this is a necro or a spambot.
