I've watched so many folks destroy their kidneys with Coke, it's not funny.

I was addicted to Diet Coke (aspartame) & ended up giving myself fibromyalgia.

Once your kidneys go, you have to go onto a low-protein diet... No red meat or pork anymore... You have to avoid certain veggies, etc.

One friend employed me to cook the kidney diet for him & teach his wife, but they were impossible to deal with.

They had gone to Mexico. Betting he's dead now, because he refused to stop drinking Coke, even after he was hospitalized.
