“(The urologist said) it doesn’t look like any stones are in there. But unfortunately, you have bladder cancer,” Daly said in September. “After I did the CT (scan) I was fixing to sip on my Diet Coke and he said, ‘Don’t drink anything. We have to get you back in here and get this cancer out of you.'”...

...Daly is using a cart and said he’s always tired. He said he’s trying to drink and eat properly, but “it’s hard to take Diet Coke away from me,” he said to reporters after Round 1 of the TimberTech Championship...

“The first chemo kicked my butt. I’m just praying maybe they got it. Everything I love to eat and drink causes the stones that causes the cancer. Alcohol. Beef. Milk. Diet drinks. I’ve tried to cut back on the smokes. Thank God I don’t like energy drinks because they’re the worst.”

Tyson Fury says he stopped drinking Diet Coke after having ’20-30 in a day’ before rematch with Deontay Wilder (March 12th, 2020) HERE

...This amount of soda is hard to put into perspective, so let me break it down a bit.

According to statista.com, the average time a an adult from the United Kingdom is awake is 15 hours and 39 minutes. Meaning Fury averages nearly 2 sodas an hour he is up.

If we are talking cans, that’s three gallons a day.

Is all he does drink soda? Does he do anything else? Is this part of some competition we don’t know about? I have many questions.

While this whole thing is borderline unbelievable, you have to commend him for being about to quit cold turkey like that when he wanted to.

Cutting out soda is not the only change he’s made when it comes to preparing for the rematch of the 2018 draw.

“I’ve been away in Las Vegas for 10 weeks by the time the fight comes around. I’ve not had my wife here, my kids, I’ve not had no drinks, I’ve not had nothing,” he said. “I’ve not put a single object in my mouth that shouldn’t have been there. The only thing I put in is what the nutritionist wrote on a piece of paper.”...

Brent Hatley Did Not Leave "Howard Stern" Because of 

His Wife's Dalliance With a Porn Star - HERE

For six years, Brent Hatley was a main staple on "The Howard Stern Show," serving as the radio host’s senior producer and frequent contributor. But the 48-year-old hasn’t been on the program in over two months, and his boss seems reluctant to discuss the broadcast personality’s noticeable absence with listeners...

"I’ve gotten these debilitating headaches since I was 14. They’ve been infrequent my whole life, but now they’re up to the point where they’re every day," he previously shared on the show.

"The whole left side of my head hurts. All the way through my tongue, through my shoulder, through my head… my vision gets blurry," Brent explained. "I’ll end up puking if I don’t take something for it."
A specialist in Manhattan told him that the migraines could stem from an overconsumption of diet soda and ibuprofen, so Brent vowed to steer clear of those two things from now on. "I’m completely done," he insisted. "[The doctor] said, 'No more ever again.'"

Michael J Fox, Star of Spin City, Family Ties and many movies, suffers from Parkinson's Disease and once asked how a 30 year old man would get this old man's disease.

Aspartame/NutraSweet that is in Diet Pepsi is a neurotoxin that triggers neurodegenerative diseases, and can precipitate Parkinson's. Fox has been going downhill because of the wild movements and writhing he's been suffering. He is unable to control his body. Aspartame, in reality a drug, also interacts with other drugs and changes the dopamine of the brain. There is no way for Michael to improve until someone gets him off the Diet Pepsi.

Kim Kardashian...She's also more of an iced tea fan, revealing, "I used to drink a ton of iced tea, but I've cut back. I had the craziest addiction to Equal — I'd put 10 Equals in every iced tea. My sister Kourtney would always say, ‘You can't have that much sweetener!'"
