I wonder how people in general would react when they start consuming the lesser caloric coke. I hope someone is paying attention and taking careful notes on the consumers who do buy the new coke product. A study should be made on consumers' behavior in regard to this new coke.

Sure, a glass of water may be recommended from a nutritional standpoint. That concentrated sugar in any amount can wreak havoc on a body, but until we help people return to an awareness of and the desire to know what's going on in their own bodies, this may be a helpful alternative. We are triggered by the visual cue of a finished bottle, an empty plate, to register satiation. I say, let's work with that until we reconnect enough with our bodies to know and deeply experience the qualitative difference between any size can of coke and a glass of water; enough to choose that glass of water over the soda. Have mercy, we're working against a strong current! Just a quick comment about the 90 calorie mini coke. Sure, a glass of water may be recommended from a nutritional standpoint.
