I can't tolerate Nutrasweet. Headaches, nausea, and cramps from minimal exposure. So far so good with the left-handed sugar isomer, Splenda™ from McNeil labs ... got a box free from a friend who works for McNeil Nutritional (who also keeps me in Motrin ) I use the stuff only rarely even so. There are supposed to be sodas on the way to market from both Coke and Pepsi that use Splenda. I'll be interested to see how that goes.
And they say that Nutrasweet is harmless..ha!

I'm getting more into Stevia (http://www.stevia.net/). I wish the FDA weren't such assholes about it:

Diet Rite has sodas out that use Splenda, and they're pretty good - I like the Red Raspberry and Tangerine the best - The Cola tastes like any other brown soda, and the white grape is tangier than I'd like, but it's do-able.
Mmmm, I love this stuff. Sycamore cringes at it LOL. I love the White Grape, Rasberry, Black Cherry and Tangerine.
