I was reading this blog post about diet soda and aspartame and wanted to share it here. I've always been a little leery of artificial sweeteners, and don't even like the taste of diet soda, but aspartame comes in many other foods and drinks these days.

Did you know...

"Aspartame was created by a scientist working on a ulcer medication, his experiment ran over the top of a beaker and he absentmindedly licked some of the foaming goo off his finger and said ooooohh this is sweet..."

Ew. I love me some diet Pepsi. I don't drink a ton, but that experiment thing is really gross!

I love my Diet Pepsi, but do try to keep it to 1 can/day.  And I won't let my kids touch it.  I actually crave the taste at certain times of the day.  I do hate that it has aspartame in it and do try to stay away from it in almost any other drink/food (especially if the kids will be drinking or eating it).  But I just haven't been able to give up my Diet Pepsi yet.

I  drink Pepsi but the diet leaves an unpleasant  after taste for me. I have in the last year twice grabbed a six pack of the large bottles of diet by mistake. Gave them both away to a son and DIL.  I think by the time they spike it with whiskey or rum they don't notice the difference. There is only 100 calories difference between the two and all soft drinks have too much sweetner but I have to go with the real thing. Luckily I don't have a weight problem.

"I think by the time they spike it with whiskey or rum they don't notice the difference."

Ha! Well that's a good way to cover up the aspartame flavor! I do hate that aftertaste. I find if I've had something with aspartame in it I'll notice later in the day and think "Ick, why does my mouth taste like that?" then realize it was something I'd had to drink or eat.
