This is just what I needed to support my own desire to cut diet coke out of my life once and for all. I have a theory....do you ever see skinny people drinking diet coke or eating special K?!! It's a huge soapbox rant for me. I once had a lady tell me that aspartame is given to cancer patients to help them GAIN weight. Not sure if that's entirely true....HOWEVER...there's some merit there. It's interesting....that I feed my children and myself in two entirely different ways...children are free eating (GF, CF, SF DF & Preservative Free) while I am a diet coke fiend. Yuck! Farewell DC, farewell! Wuhoo! This is just what I needed to support my own desire to cut diet coke out of my life once and for all.

Sigh. I have an aunt who was getting tremors in her neck and cut out the diet sodas and it went away. Thanks for the great info Meghan... it will help people for sure.

I've tried to convince friends and family to stop adding these sweeteners to their coffees but to no avail. I've stopped drinking soft drink and as a treat drink juice or iced tea. It's all water for me! (Or smoothies). Love it! I’ve tried to convince friends and family to stop adding these sweeteners to their coffees but to no avail.
