Woman Goes to Rehab for Soda Addiction
Categories: Diet & Weight Loss, Nutrition & Supplements
One of the easiest ways to cut calories and sugar from your diet is to give up your soda habit. But for one Swedish woman, asking her to quit drinking Coke is like asking her to quit breathing. She took drinking soda to an entirely new level -- from bad habit to total addiction.Addicted to Coca-Cola? Really? Yes, really.
In fact, the woman, who also happens to be deaf, had to go through legal channels to have her addiction recognized. An appeals court recently ruled that she be hospitalized for her addiction to Coke and food, due to her uncontrolled high blood pressure and diabetes.
People joke all the time that they're addicted to their favorite foods. Though they may not be an addiction in a true sense, cravings can be a very powerful thing. Check out the gallery below for tips on how to keep them under control, and when cravings do strike, try substituting one of these low-cal snacks instead.

Wow, makes me even happier that I don't drink soda. People totally do claim, in jest, to be addicted to chocolate/sugar/french fries or whatever, but I didn't know it could actually get so serious.

Quitting soda addiction is really hard. I used Diet Kola Capsules and it helped me. It's much of the stuff in the can, but in a capsule. No aspartame, no caramel. brains and teeth are a lot better! :) see http://www.dietkola.com
