Heart Attack

A new study shows an increased risk of heart disease in people who drink even one soda a day. Just ONE. It doesn't matter if it's a regular or a diet.

Soda apparently increases the risk of something called "metabolic syndrome."

This is a group of symptoms that increase the risk of heart disease.

Those who know me know I drink more than one diet pepsi a day. We won't go into how many I drink. But, it's way more than just one.

I took a look at myself to see if I have any of these symptoms:

Large waistline: check

Higher levels of blood pressure: mine is slightly on the low side of high.

Higher levels of blood sugar: mine was high last time I checked on my mom's blood glucose meter.

High cholesterol level: yeppers

High triglycerides: uh-oh

I'm a dead woman walking...
