Is no one else wary of the nasty chemicals used to sweeten diet drinks?

I always have an unpleasant aftertaste if I try one of those.

Has it occured to anyone else but me that up until now diet and regular soft drinks have always cost EXACTLY the same? I'm no chemist, but I'm guessing a synthetic sweetener costs a bit more than corn syrp. After water, those are the primary ingredients in either beverage. This means that coke and pepsi drinkers have been subsidizing diet coke and diet pepsi drinkers ever since the latter were invented.

Aspertame makes me feel strange. The Splenda stuff I like however.

They'll add on another tax to subsidize the Health Problems that will arise.

Then NY will sue the seetener companies...Then they will increase taxes to pay for the suit.

Then the drug companies will come up with a new drug. Etc, etc, etc...

I am, I always feel a little nauseous after having a diet pop.
