[QUOTE="whosbear, post: 849814, member: 15629"] I've said it many times now. The new Coca Cola 'Life' is the best if, like me, you can't steer away from the fizz. I'm type 2 diabetic and I'm also asthmatic. I found that when ever I drink anything with Aspertame it narrowed my airways straight away. I suffered a lot when I was younger. R Whites lemonade was definately the worst drink. I tried drinking more water when I was diagnosed with diabetes about 6 years ago. I couldn't drink straight water so I had carbonised water with Sainsbury's High Juice. There were only about two or three flavours with no aspartame, but eventually they too had it. When Life came out last year I read the contents and immediatley took to it. They use Steviol. Steviol glycosides are responsible for the sweet taste of the leaves of the stevia plant, ([I]stevia rebaudiana Bertoni). [/I]These compounds range in sweetness from 40 to 450 times sweeter than sucrose. They heat-stable, pH-stable, and do not ferment. Additionally, they do not induce a [I]glycemic response[/I] when ingested, thus making them attractive as a natural sweetner for diabetics and others on a carbohydrate -controlled diets. As far as my asthma, it's never been better. I still have to keep an eye on everything else I consume as this is not available everywhere including restaurants. [/QUOTE]
