Re: Aspertame-free Diet Soda?

I understand that it is quite bad for you. There is a lot of information on the internet about it. For one thing, even though it doesn't have sugar, it actually raises blood sugar, our doctor was explaining this to me yesterday, but I forgot why it raises the blood sugar. The upshot is that it raises the blood sugar and if you take a lot of it it can actually make you more likely to get diabetes! There are other problems with it, too. I know that in other countries they have sodas with stevia sweetener instead of aspertame, but not in the US as far as I know. You could try using unsweetened juice with a touch of baking soda in it for fizz. That tastes pretty good but you can't just drink it all day long because you would be drinking too much juice. You can cut the strength of the juice somewhat, though, to stretch it farther and it still tastes good.

Diet Rite sodas are sweetened with sucralose, as is a line of Waist Watcher sodas. Sucralose is an artificial sweetener, too, though, and some people think it is just about as bad as asparatme.

Re: Aspertame-free Diet Soda?

I absolutely despise Aspertame in stuff. A friend of mine gave me a 'Fresca' today and it is made with Splenda. I thought it was GREAT!

If you're looking for a low-calorie drink alternative, I am a huge fan of the flavored Propel Fitness waters! They're not diet but they only have about 20 calories.

Re: Aspertame-free Diet Soda?

Fresca is made with Splenda? I thought Fresca was one of the biggest culprits of containing Aspertame. Is this a different, new type of Fresca? I need to know because my wife drinks Fresca everyday. Thanks! Dave'
