When Nutrasweet first came out, my first thought was, "If saccharine causes cancer, what will this stuff do to people? I think I'll stick with sugar.".

Funny how a nine-year-old kid can predict the future.

I generally opt for sodas made with sucralose or Asulfame-K. I haven't seen or heard of any evidence linking the other sweeteners with any of the ailments you've listed, I just prefer the taste of Splenda.

thanks for the link. I don't drink soda often enough for this to really concern me, even if it is true.

No. I stopped drinking soda because I got tired of all the damn cavities. I have very sensitive teeth.
