Speaking of artificial sweeteners....I drink Dt. Mt. Dew that's made with aspartame. I know one of the reasons Dr. Atkins don't want you to consume it is because of the potential safety issue and because it can spike insulin response. But if I have lost 25 lbs in a month (yes, on induction), does that mean it's not something that bothers me? I am planning on doing away with this habit as soon as my supply runs out, but was just curious.

Thanks,
