Liz I'm the same. If I stay away from AS I do fine.

"What they would need to do is a double-blind study where participants were given either drinks sweetened with sugar or drinks sweetened with aspartame, but not told what they were getting."

Personally, I'm not sure that soulw work. To me all AS have a distinct taste....after taste I guess is the better word. One of the reasons why I stay away from AS is to prevent stalls....but another reason is because of that artificial taste I get from all AS (well I havent' tried stevia yet, maybe that's better).

I've always been able to tell regular from diet based on taste. And most people I know say the same. I think they'd have to disguise the taste for a double blind study to work.

Nice to see more choices....maybe maintenance will be easier!
