Soft drinks have surpassed water as number one choice of beverage in United States. Aspartame is not only problem. When you have fibromyalgia or any other autoimmune disease, you need good minerals in your diet to distress immune system, and phosphoric acid in dark soft drinks will rob your body of calcium. The sugar version is not better for you either, since sugar stresses your adrenals, especially when it comes in concentrated doses, like it does in any sugar-laden soft drink.

Also all soft drinks are very acidic, with an average reading of 2 to 3 pH. Acid urine and saliva pH readings are related to immune system stress, and joint and muscle stress. So if you want to have your urine and saliva pH levels stay in balance (in 6.4 pH range or higher) avoiding soft drinks is very important. Coffee is another acid drink, along with beer. Green tea is only relatively popular alkalizing drink. Or you can add lemon or lime to your water (without sugar) for flavoring.

Too many over counter vitamins and minerals seem to have more fillers than nutrients on label, and these are ones to avoid.
