diet coke is bad enough as it is let alone adding that splenda crap
to it. drinking coke is not good for anyone, why would people want
a diet version of it to begin with? there are so many other
alternitives when it comes to drinks that diet pop shouldn't need to
be on the market. ever read a list of what they put in it?

So true Sally! Researchers are led to believe that the phosphorous in
carbonated beverages can lead to calcium depletion and osteoporosis.

Do a google search on "soda osteoporosis" for a lot of articles about
this. The link isn't proven, but it is something to think about!

I'll never forget the Coke experiment in Jr. High when the teacher
dropped a tooth in a glass of Coke. I think it was just a week or so
before decay started

Many schools are removing sodas from their vending machines and
replacing them with fruit juices - a better choice? I doubt it... Not
a big fan of fruit juice - all the carbs with none of the fiber g

BTW, a list of ingredients in cola can be found at
http://sci-toys.com/ingredients/soft_drinks.html (minus the "secret
ingredient"!)

Not sure I agree with your impression of Splenda though. And I do love
a good fizz every now and then - I have no more than one soda a day,
if that much. Most of the time I prefer drinking teas and good old
plain water.

My goodness. I can't believe all the hostility created by an
off-the-cuff comment that I thought I used to drink too much sodey-pop.

Like you said, Alan--I know I'm ignorant and that's why I came here.
Guess I'll just read and stay quiet.

No twit,
drinking coke does NOT contribute to diabetes.

If you HAVE uncontrolled diabetes, your consumption of fluids goes way up
until you get your BG to stay below 200, NOT the other way around

No shrieking tantrum child,
screaming at newbies does *NOT* contribute to anyone's quality of life.

Folks who are new? Ted seems to get his rocks off so much screaming at
spammers that he spills it over at innocent questions from newbies. Ignore
him and move on.

There is an online coupon for Diet Coke with Splenda.

Local store (Giant Foods) has it in 2 liter size. Tried it, not bad.
Unfortunately the store refuses to accept internet coupons. Now I hope
they make Vanilla Coke with Splenda!!

well, turdmonger, it does if a person drinks lots of it and it puts on
weight because of it. excess weight CAN contribute to Type 2 diabetes.

did you even read the thread, fartknocker? the peson who posted the
message said that coke did contribute to his added weight and that
means it increased the possibility of type 2

hey at least mack was big enough to admit he was wrong. now how about
you twaddle walker?

Alan, the blithering idiots who come on with tales of woe about
sweeteners have LONG since used up any slack I would be willing to cut them.

THEN, the google, and get ALL of the phony and meaningless crap.

Next we will be getting the tooth fairy coke story, or the chromium
fender one.

Ted, that's not a statement I'd make too often if I were
you. Ignorance includes failure to check the backgrounds of
posters to see if they're genuine before wading in wearing
hob-nailed boots.

I accept that I'm ignorant - if I knew it all I wouldn't

I wondered the very same thing when I went to download the coupon, so
didn't.

I am anxious to try it. I've been drinking Diet Rite (love their
tangerine--although I limit myself to one soda a day at dinner.)
because of all the horrors I've read about nutra-sweet... so don't
anyone post the horrors of Splenda yet!

I'm saddened to say that before being diagnosed, I used to drink about
2 liters of Coke a day, and that got worse when I discovered it in tall
glass bottles (bottled in Mexico) at a local market. Hard to believe I
haven't touched a drop in 6 months.

Hello,

I am a newbie here (I posted the question about chocolate recipes-)

I just have to say I hate diet sodas- all of them- and I don't even
like Coke- prefer Pepsi and Dr. Pepper:-) but I tried Diet Coke with
Lime, and I think it's terrific! satisfies me. I think Splenda is
better for a person than Aspartame is, though, so I drink Pepsi Edge-
but it contains 1/2 sugar- the other half is Splenda.

Why is it we can get a man to the moon, but we can't make a good
sweetener that tastes like sugar and doesn't give one " the runs"?
