I'd love to know how many of those 9 carbs [in the Crystal Lite] come from Glycerine and Sugar Alcohols (Sorbitol) vs. Sugars (Maltodextrin). I also wonder whether they are using the Crystal Lite with Aspartame or with Splenda. Crystal Lite makes drinks with both Sweeteners.

The Diet Pepsi is a no-go for me as it contains Aspartame, which gives me migraines and Caffeine which makes me restless. Strangely, I used to be such a Caffeine addict, it took 200mg to even notice any effect [I took 1,000 - 1,600mg once and it caused a horrible Nosebleed.] Now, 50mg will make me restless. 1,000mg would probably kill me now that I no longer have a tolerance to it.*

*That was a little exagerrated, but not too much...3,200mg (about 3x that amount) is the lowest dose of Caffeine known to have killed a person.
