[QUOTE="AlongCameJones, post: 3687625, member: 47875"] I've read that artifical sweetener use and added sugar consumtion should be limited. One 12-oz sparlikng water with aspartame should be OK with supper. I've read that artifical sweetener use and added sugar consumption should be limited. One 12-oz sparlikng water with aspartame should be OK with supper. A splash of fruit juice in club soda might even be a healthier choice than diet drinks with fake sweeteners. Back circa 1974, 1975, my mother only allowed me to have "diet" sodas if I were to have soda at all. One time in 1975, my mother stopped at a convenient store to get sodas. I went in and got a soda for each of us. I was told to only buy diet sodas. The colas, R/C, were ones in glass bottles with metal caps that came off with a bottle opener.
