Thanks for the link, I will read up on it.

Jose, I know what you mean about the splenda, I made some banana bread out of it and I doubt that our hogs would have ate it. It has a much worse taste to me then the other artificial sweetners.

Bill brought me home some Blue Bunny ice cream last week and I don't know what kind of sweetner they used but I could hardly eat it. You could sure tell it was diet ice cream.

I have gotten use to all but the Splenda. I use them in everything. I also drink nothing but diet drinks but they have to be rootbeer or another flavor besides coke or pepsi.

I just hate to start using sugar again. I gain weight so easy. I look at food and gain.

My friend was worried about me using the artifical sweetner and I just never connected the ideal of the sweetner and the tumors until she brought it up. It does bother me now though, I just don't know what to think.

I don't understand why your Aunt would make your son something with that in it either. Young people don't need that unless they are put on a diet. My grandson's do like the diet candy though. I buy both but they eat mine first. They aren't overweight and I'm hoping it won't hurt them every once in awhile.

Thanks for the help. I would like more input on this. I'm sure I'm not the only one on here that lives on artificial sweetners.
