I can't stand the taste of diet sodas, and reg. sodas are just too sweet. I like flavored seltzer, no calories or sweeteners. My preferred drink is water - our dug well has the best-tasting water in the world!!

I agree 100 percent with Annaquilts I have known people using some of these products having all kinds of problems one was our Sunday school teacher with heart palpitations really bad quit MSG and was fine another was a lady drinking diet drinks spent sometime in the hospital found it was aspartame I try to stay as natural as possible and prefer organic

I learned as a child to only believe half of what you see and nothing you hear. I keep to that. My doctor is just fine with it.

I cannot drink diet soda as it makes me feel a bit light headed. I used to think I was a big strange but then have now read many articles about the negative aspects of artificial sweeteners. I love to have a Coke or Pepsi but try to refrain from them very often because of the very high sugar content. I figure one a week or so probably won't hurt. Anyone who uses artificial sweeteners should do a bit of reading about them. If you are diabetic, it's a different story and you do what you have to do. Why is it that everything really yummy isn't good for us???

For me I will drink. 2-3 diet caffiene pepsi's a week. Most of the time is water or MILK. If I dont have milk, I loose it. I've been a milk drinker, for as long as I can remember(65yrs). Take care everyone. Don-isewman
