Like I needed a reason not to drink diet soda(other than the fact it tastes horrible).
My husband loves the stuff. I do the wifely nag thing every now and then, what's wrong with water, or tea, or selzer, if you don't want the calories?
These are probably cancer-prone rats, but still the amounts of aspartame consumed are only 5 to 10 times what a normal person might drink.

I gave up any kind of sugar or sweetener, including corn syrup, years ago.
I drink plain seltzer water now.
The other day I was at the supermarket looking at what the person ahead of me was buying:
Bottles filled with bright colored liquids--bright reds, pelican-puke greens, etc.--sugar water masquerading as a harmless drink.
Salted dried chips, processed garbage of every description.
Ugh!
Not to mention all the chemicals and crap in the bread and other sturff he was buying.
No wonder supermarkets have so many pills and remedies in their over-the-counter medicine aisle.
I would give anything to drink diet soda instead of the sugar-sweetened kind, but I just can't get past the taste. The closest thing I've found so far is diet Dr. Pepper, but even that leaves a strange aftertaste.
