I am just not sold on the aspartame thing. I drink diet drinks all the time (not all the time, but you know ;-) )..... anyway, when i started doing the atkins diet, i obviously read about aspartame. by my nature, i am skeptical of everything, so i looked into it. It has been repeatedly researched, and from everything i read, everything found it safe. Most of the fears came from a study in the early 90's that was inconclusive. that led to tons of other tests and they all found it safe. It is not linked to any long term things either as far as i know (I am not an expert, just very research oriented by nature). anyway, i dont think it is everything everyone makes it out to be. IMHO, if you think it is giving you headaches or whatever, dont drink them. me, i like a diet soda every once in a while....... but what do i know
