July 25th - Pop goes the stomach?

speaking of water
well, not really....but speaking of diet coke...

So I was watching "Myth Busters" with my kids and they were testing the myth about Mentos added to diet coke creating kind of an explosion. The myth was true but the weirdest thing...the most EYE OPENING thing!... was when they used a pig stomach (the pig wasn't attached) to see what would happen in your tummy if you combined those two ingredients. Well, in short, nothing much, BUT when they poured just the diet soda into the pig stomach the stomach lining expanded like a balloon! SERIOUSLY. Not just a little bit!

So that got me thinking...

All this time, when I drink diet soda, my stomach is stretching out like a blown up balloon? I'm not sure, but I think it might be...so bye bye soda! (You people might call it "pop"...I'm a west coaster...whatdoIknow!) I love diet coke...it's an addiction, I admit it....but after seeing that...I'm going to love water more. From now on! I'm quitting diet coke...cold turkey! (Or pig - as the case may be.)
