Funny you posted that. My ex is a health nut and does not believe in sugar for our kids. I'm the exact opposite. I don't want my little angels to become the next Todd Marinovich as soon as they go away to college.
But to your point, I will drink a diet coke on occasion. I know it's bad for me but I can only consume so much water a day before I want a change. I drink so much water a day now to stay properly hydrated that diet coke is like a drug to me now. I need to go to diet coke rehab. I need an intervention.
Edit: What the fuck was this thread about again? I forgot the topic.

At a restaurant, I did, however, accidentally pour a chemical sugar into my iced tea. i didn't notice the difference. it was a bit later when cleaning up, i looked at the sugar packet. it wasn't sugar, but it wasn't the common brands that use aspartame (tar), or saccharin (chlorine). this packet had sucralose (chlorine). this was very close tasting to sugar.
i used it maybe at least 3 more times before going back to regular sugar. If they have it, I get the stevia sugar, if not regular sugar. I use that at home.
stevia sugar is better than that chemical shit.
