just an opinion, Stay off the coke, another thing you dont mention your age. I started a.s. at 38 and after 6 years and 6 cycles , my blood pressure is with me forever, if i could change it and do it all over again? yes i would still use a.s. blood pressure is a inconvience but size matters more to me. to shorten my life with a.s. and be bigger ,i think , outweighs staying small and living longer. rather die earlier and be here big than stay a few more years at being small. (i,m 44 now)
