For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Many soft drinks now seem to be using the alternative (cheaper) sweeteners such as Aspartame (tm) which contains phenylalanine (sp.?). Much has been written about this sustance and I'm no expert, but if you're concerned (and you should be well informed about stuff you're putting in your body) you can do some research of you own and make up your own mind, there's plenty of stuff online, just remember that some of it needs to be taken with a pinch of salt (but not too much if you value your blood pressure limits :)))
In short I stick to good old Sugar.
Thank you Dark Angel and funkychicken!!! You read my mind! If I'd said it, I'd get my answer banned though - as the AB editor hates me. But thanks for saying it!
Fredo - if we avoided all the tiny things that can give us cancer I suspect we'd die of starvation. Steer clear of cigarettes and fast moving big buses, and you should be fine! :-)
By the way - I didn't mean to cause offence or upset you. I can never tell who finds spelling hard, who is dyslexic and who is just being lazy. Lazy spelling annoys me very much. People who find spelling hard are a different matter though.
I really wouldn't worry about the diet coke though mate. Although fizzy drinks do rot the teeth, so perhaps we should all brush after drinking!
acw just like to point out your supposed to wait at least 30 mins after drinking fizzy drinks before brushing your teeth as the acid attacks the enamel on your teeth and if you brush your teeth before that 30 mins is up you damage the enamel on your teeth, and that ain't good.
(just thought i should point it out incase you didn't know, my orthodontist told me)
