That Is Not a Medication!
Alright, now you listen here. Coca-Cola may have originally been invented as a medication, but it was far from effective in that regard which is why it became a beverage instead (and really shouldn’t have). Fast forward to Diet Coke, which is, in some ways, arguably worse.
Sure, it’s not loaded with sugar (or corn syrup if you’re in the US), but it’s full of chemicals that may not be as “fattening” but will have far, far worse side effects on you. That is horrible advice from a doctor and absolutely infuriating this patient suffered for it.
