Before I retired I would frequently bring a can of Progresso to work for lunch. Now most of the soup I eat, my wife makes from scratch or she uses low sodium chicken broth.

I met with a nurse practitioner at my GI doctor’s office yesterday. She asked about what I would drink during the day re. my caffeine intake. I replied “coffee in the morning, diet cola during the day and at dinner.”

She asked “ how long have you been drinking the diet cola?”

I said “ since I stopped drinking beer”.

“How long ago was that?”

“About 8 years ago, when I was told I had end stage liver disease”. Her eyebrows went up a little, but she didn’t say anything….

The soda can contribute to liver disease also.
