They say we're given 100 years to live. The point at which you die is not when your heart stops beating, it's when your quality of life diminishes to near zero. You can start subtracting years based on what you eat, your level of activity, your stress level, your social connections. Eating real food, exercising, managing stress and having friends and family extend not your chronological age, but the amount of time you're able to live life.
I wasn't making a point about sugar vs. sucralose vs aspartame. I said (all) sodas are poison. No healthy person should have more than one soda per week, maximum.
