No I did not, and my doctor felt I was rather healthy.
Funny story though, I was rather heavy and a regular blood donor. One of the things they do here when you donate (or used to) was test your cholesterol level and report it back to you in the mail. Mine was always in the "good" range. So I got a call one day from the hospital where I normally donate (it is a research hospital) asking if I would be interested in taking part in a study and I agreed. When I went in for the interview it turns out they were looking for fat people with low cholesterol. They paid me $50 to participate which consisted of a blood test and a notebook. They asked me to write down everything I ate for a week, then came back, got another blood test and another notebook. They looked at what I wrote in the first notebook, asked me to add a couple of things which were different vegetables as I recall. Then sent me on my way for another week. End of the week turn in my second notebook and collect my $50.
The first question from the grad student who collected my first notebook was, "Did you really drink this much soda this week?", answer yes. Second time I turned in my notebook he looked at me and said "You drink this much EVERY week?" and I said "Yup, pretty much."
He was surprised I could sleep at night with that much caffeine but it wasn't a problem for me.
