Liquid Calories
http://thekojonnamdishow.org/shows/2010-10-20/liquid-calories
The war on soda and high fructose syrup is nothing new -- "soda taxes" and other measures are popping up across the country. But other beverages, including sports drinks and "healthy" bottled teas, can pack nearly as much sugar as a root beer, and often don't deliver the health benefits their labels promise. We explore the "liquid calories" Americans are consuming, and how they're affecting our health.

I am addicted to Diet Coke!! I restrict myself to one can a day or maybe a 20 oz bottle, but have to limit myself. I am a little concerned about the artificial sweetener amount, so how many packet of "equal" or teaspoons of aspartame is in a typical can?
