[QUOTE="Celeriac, post: 970358, member: 188243"] I don't buy artificial sweeteners at all. I used to drink Diet Pepsi/Coke but gave it up in 2012. Water is inherently healthier. My husband eats what I would say is moderate carb i.e. 100-150g carbs per day as he eats gluten-free, having NCGS. Since he doesn't have diabetes or pre-diabetes, is slim not overweight, has great blood pressure, cholesterol etc, I do buy him sugar free sweets for the car as he has given up smoking. Mainly Ricola sugar free herbal sweets from Sainsbury's and there are about three sweet shops in two counties I know of that sell sugar-free sweets. He can vouch for the laxative effect ! All any food manufacturer has to do, is prove that the additives they use are non-toxic, i.e. won't kill you immediately. In the U.S. they get GRAS status Generally Accepted As Safe. Food additives are never tested long-term or in conjunction with other additives. [/QUOTE]
