What's the deal with diet pop?

Guess what your liver does with things (toxins) that it can't process? It sticks them into storage in fat pads until it has the time or ability to deal with them - this is also partially why alcohol causes the classic beer belly. i dunno, it is nice to have a diet pop now and then, but water is going tp do tons more for you in the long run healthwise! -------------- Challenge + Consistency = Results
