I have always drunk DC from being a small child as it was marketed to me as a good thing. father chistmas and cute polor bears can't be wrong! or can they..... I think that there is a law suit to be answered by these companies that market the drinks at kids with no understanding of the damage that these drinks can do to the body and mind, so by the time you realise they are doing you harm its to late! your addicted. I read a book called 'Caffine Blues' that finally convinced me that I should not be drinking DC and how to give it up forever. It has a slow reduction programe that is quite easy to follow. It also says that it takes at least 60 days to rid the body of caffine so I would give any attempt at giving up at least 60 days.......... <3 Hi, I have struggled with the addiction for many years, I have no other significant dependancys/addictions, I dont drink or take drugs, I eat a healthy diet.
