A long time ago I stopped drinking regular Coke because of the sugar. Then I found out about the phosphoric acid so I stopped drinking diet Coke as well and switched to diet Sprite-like drinks. Then I read enough about the impact of non-nutritious sweeteners on the gut flora to have doubts about their innocuousness. I hate the taste of water or unsweetened tea, so I mix carbonated mineral water with a bit of diet Sprite-like. </blockquote></div><br></div></span><div class="gmail_extra">I've gotten used to water and unsweetened tea (when I'm not drinking beer, wine, or whiskey), but for a while I was adding True Lemon, True Lime, or True Orange and a little stevia, which seems not to have the bad gut or insulin effects that some non-caloric sweeteners have. The True products are basically powered citrus juices.<span class=""><font color="#888888"><br><br></font></span></div><span class=""><font color="#888888"><div class="gmail_extra">-Dave<br></div></font></span></div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:'comic sans ms',sans-serif;font-size:small;color:rgb(0,0,0);display:inline">I did a bit of Googling and it seems that any problems with Splenda stem from the maltodextrin which forms the bulk of the product. Actually sucralose is mostly not digested. So it could be that any problems with Splenda stem from the maltodextrin rather than sucralose. One report said the maltodextrin made gut flora 'sticky'. So I'd stick to straight sucralose - far cheaper anyway. I bought mine on eBay. </div></blockquote><div><br></div><div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:'comic sans ms',sans-serif;font-size:small;color:rgb(0,0,0);display:inline"><a href="http://giving.clevelandclinic.org/articles/researcher-links-digestive-problems-food-additive">http://giving.clevelandclinic.org/articles/researcher-links-digestive-problems-food-additive</a></div></div><div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:'comic sans ms',sans-serif;font-size:small;color:rgb(0,0,0);display:inline"><br></div></div><div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:'comic sans ms',sans-serif;font-size:small;color:rgb(0,0,0);display:inline">bill w</div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-style:solid;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"> </blockquote><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-style:solid;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:'comic sans ms',sans-serif;font-size:small;color:rgb(0,0,0);display:inline"></div><br>_______________________________________________<br>
