Now They're Messin' with my Diet Coke!

Say it ain't so! From an article found here

"A common preservative found in drinks such as Coca-Cola, Sprite, Dr. Pepper, Fanta and Diet Pepsi may cause serious cell damage, according to a report in Britain's The Independent.
Sodium benzoate has the ability to switch off vital parts of a person's DNA, according to research from a British university.

The problem is usually associated with aging and alcohol abuse, but new findings show that drinking soda with the preservative can eventually lead to cirrohosis of the liver and degenerative diseases such as Parkinson's."

Man. I don't know what to say except....NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
