Pardon, but many seem to have a misperception about Splenda

http://www.truthaboutsplenda.com/resources/faqs.html

Due to a myriad of odd health issues, I’ve quit soda altogether save for an occasional one made with actual SUGAR and feel the better for it.

Good luck to others; quitting soda was as hard as quitting smoking for me.

That article touts itself as the “truth” about Splenda, but there isn't a lot of truth in it. Just a lot of nonsense designed to scare people.

You probably already know this - but if you don’t; many grocery stores carry Coca Cola in glass bottles from Mexico. It has real sugar. About $1.19 each at WM. I think they are 16oz.

Also, I read recently that Coke is going to bring out a version in the US with real sugar. I’m sure it will cost more. The artificially-high sugar prices in the US are the reason that all the soft drink makers switched to high-fructose corn-syrup. HFCS is cheaper.
