I am still rather new to this website, but I find myself drawn to this site in an effort to learn more. One of my worst vices is caffeine. I do not drink tea or coffee...just soft drinks. I know there are no nutritional benefits to drinking soda, but is it deterimental or should I simply enjoy one of my vices? I go to a teaching hospital, and I usually see my favorite oncologist, a young fellow, and I am also seen by one of the more senior oncologists. Since I gained 20 lbs. which I can't shake off, she is referring me to a nutritionist. I know I have a lot to learn about the benefits of eating a healthy diet to fight recurrence. Just curious about the affects, if any, of caffeine--in particular out of a soda bottle.
