I bought a jar of stevia probably about 6 months ago, had a couple of tea spoons in a cup of tea, and promptly poured it down the sink.
Horrid stuff :s

My uncle used to be a big wig at the Coca Cola Group and he once told me years ago, "stay away from out diet stuff". Nuff said!Quote:

However, I decided a long time ago that the costs of drinking soda severely outweigh the benefits and since there are so many good alternatives, I just quit drinking it. It wasn't very hard considering the US cola tastes a lot worse than what I used to drink, thanks to the corn syrup sweetener instead of fruit or cane (regular) sugar in it.
Why? People have the right to damage their health if they wish. Should we perhaps start limiting everything that can be bad for one's health?Quote:

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned root beer. That's my absolute fav in the world of sodas but I only get to drink it in the States. It's not available on this side of the pond.
I drink soda occasionally and do that exactly because it contains a lot of sugar. When I'm exhausted after a day in the office, a bit of quickly digestible carbohydrates is what's gonna put me right. Then it's either alcohol in beer or sugar in soda. Mostly soda for a family guy.
Why what's amusing? I like Pepsi and I don't see any need to have extra sugar so I drink Pepsi Max.Quote:

People should have the right to damage their health. They should not have the right to have that damage fixed for free when they have knowingly damaged it. In that case why can you get insurance and then smoke, drink and eat and drink fatty and sugary foods.
If people want to drink soda in vast quantities they will, regardless of the size of cups available, but there should be some common sense surrounding sale of harmful things. Cigarettes are taxed highly, but still available. Why not do the same for these things, if you still want them, buy them in smaller less harmful quantities
