As someone else said, I have a feeling that diet versions of the popular drinks will be proven in time to have more bad stuff in them than we understand now. I have spent time being addicted to Coke Zero, but I am free of it now and don't even like the taste anymore, thankfully.[/QUOTE]
If you check you'll find out that it has already been proven that the diet stuff (aspartame) already has bad stuff in it. For one it has formalcohyde (sorry for the spelling) in it, which when heated gets hard. First of all it normally always gets heated and secondly I know they'll put that in me when I die so I don't want it before hand. Check my other thread on here and you see what I put about what I went thru when drinking the diet stuff. The country that invented it won't even use it in thier own diet drinks, they use Stevia. That should tell you something. Aspartame started out being a drug used to treat ulcers until a chemist spilled some and licked it off his fingers and saw that it was sweet and wa la, we had another money maker. There are to many big companies involved to make official studies but if you read the book Sweet poisen you'll be amazed at how many people are affected and what all it can do to you and your kids.
