[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 752682, member: 41816"] Hi, I suspect that you are ok with anything in moderation. But it is sometimes hard to know whether my moderation matches your moderation. My reasons for avoiding artificial sweeteners are various: Some of them keep me awake The chemical ones taste vile (to me) They train my taste buds to expect sweetness, and I'm avoiding it wherever possible There have been studies suggesting that the body behaves the same with sweeteners as it does with sugar, but then when no sugar enters the bloodstream, digestive and hormone balances are off. (Sorry, no links, but google will find them for you) Thankyou for the info about reactive hypoglycaemia - I have experienced it, and don't want it triggered by a sweetener! My sweetener preference is for xylitol (for flavour) and erythritol (for all round benefits) I never drink pop for all the reasons above. I used to love Vimto, bitter lemon and Lilt. [/QUOTE]
