I agree with you. I will absolutely not drink any diet anything or anything sweetened with HFCS, and I don’t think my kids should either. Very, very bad.
Agreed. I haven't had a Coke, diet or otherwise, since Christmas.
Iced tea for me, and I've found a way to avoid processed sugar or artificial sweeteners, too.
Stevia. I won't lie, it takes a little getting used to... but it's no calorie and completely natural. As a Southerner, I just can't make the jump to fully unsweetened tea. Like another Freeper, my wife also drops in a lemon or peppermint herbal tea bag. Refreshing.
They're even making stevia sweetened sodas now, and they're not too bad; they are expensive though. They are a "special treat" now, rather than the cans and cans of regular Cokes I used to drink.
