Bloozcat said:I don't do any of the artifical sweetners either...at least not anymore. I used to dring a lot of diet soda until I started researching Aspartame. The way that stuff was approved by US FDA for human consumption borders on criminal. Do a Google search on it sometime. It's some bad stuff...
The sweetner that I mentioned that I use is Stevia. It is all natural, and comes from a plant. It's been used extensively for well over one hundred years in South America, and tests have proven that there are no ill effects associated with it. But because of heavy pressure by the makers of Aspartame, Saccahrin, and Splenda, the US FDA won't even consider approving Stevia as a sugar substitute. They've only approved it as a "food additive" in an attempt to pacify those who have pushed for it's approval. So, the American public is denied a much safer (and far better tasting) sugar substitute, because of business lobbies.
I think Stevia is approved for use as a sweetener in most of Europe, SuperSwede. You should be able to find it to try there. I know it's approved for use in soft drinks in Japan and other Asian countries. I've heard that it's used in soda's over there regularly.
