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 drink way too much Diet Coke. Three liters per day is not too uncommon. For anything artificial that is just too much. Guess I should cut it out...cold turkey.

I can drink black coffee but it just doesn't have fizz!

Gee, sounds like my house. My wife rags on me all the time but I just don't want to give up my Diet Dr Pepper.

Reminds me of a cartoon I saw some years back. Two rats in adjacent cages, both looking ill and sporting bandages. One says to the other, "I just don't understand these humans. They feed us nothing but laundry soap for six month straight, and are amazed when we get sick!"
