Riley ,'Lessons'
Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Christmukkah, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. Oh, and 2005? Don't think we've forgotten about you.
The problem with the perception is also that if you switch off between diet and sugared sodas, most people will find one or the other unpalatable.
Really? I drink both. I mean, not one after another (though sometimes when I get to fill my own drink at a place, I mix half regular and half diet). I'm more likely to drink the diet, because I usually care about the calories, but...I like the taste of regular better.
I am meara exactly (when it come to soda preferences I mean...I'm nowhere near as pretty!).
Todd! Yuck. I've had a couple awful bad horrible vertigo attacks. Not pleasant.
So far 2006 has been okay for me, but yesterday I spilled coffee all over myself and my car, then tore an ice cube tray right in half when trying to twist the cubes out. So I've decided to sit on my hands and not touch anything for a bit.
I am impressed by your mind typing skills
Notice I hedged my bets with the word "most" so as not to have to fess up I was talking out of my ass...so I won't.
I only drink diet (Pepsi, Coke) and hate the taste of regular - unless I'm mixing drinks. I just hate the taste of diet mixed with, say, vodka. Booze and regular soda tastes much better.
I'm still puzzled when a city decides not to floridate their water.
They don't want to contaminate their precious bodily fluids.
The government can't tell me what to do!

please, you're both gawjus!
One side effect of Nutrasweet is that it increases your appetite.
One side effect of Nutrasweet is that it increases your appetite.
That's unproven. I have seen no credible evidence to support it as being a widespread side effect. If it happens, it's to a statistically small number of individuals, who should rightly try and avoid it.
Diaries and questionnaires
The 7-d food diaries completed 3 times during the intervention showed no significant differences between the 2 groups’ ratings of hunger, fullness, palatability of the food, and general well-being. Furthermore, mean scores for postprandial appetite sensations on day 4 of each dietary record showed no significant differences between the 2 groups during the intervention. There were also no significant between-group differences in the changes in the amount of physical activity or level of physical activity, as recorded by the subjects, after the 10-wk intervention

Aspartame, and other sugar substitutes as a group are some of the most unjustly maligned substances in my opinion.
