Soda (non-diet) and epileptic seizures
Sun, 03/30/2008 - 02:45I have been epileptic now for over 6 years and I have been having seizures that are very regular. I need very much to make changes in my life and consequently, I am writing this while I am in a drug rehabilitation center. Not only have I been addicted to drugs for over half of my 28 year life, but I have excessively consumed non-diet soda (Pepsi, Coke, etc.) for at least 18 years. I am interested in hearing from anyone who is willing to reply about the affects of this type of soda on seizures; regardless of the input type, I want to know anything that is relevant.

From my perspective, Soda is definitely not the type of drink u should be drinking.
