I think with time Stevia will be added to the list. There are just no studies on it yet.
Aspartame has aspartic acid in it, which can stimulate pain receptors NMDA receptors.
I don't see how a little Splenda a day-- say one or 2 packets can be harmful. Some people become soda junkies... drinking large amounts of Diet Coke, Pepsi etc. Those are the ones to worry about.
The colas have high phosphate in them, specifically, and that may impact bone density.
I let the bubbles lapse in any soda-- before drinking. I tend to do ginger ale or lemon/lime sodas in the summer when it is hot.

Thanks for all the replies.
I myself LOVE the True Lemon products. If one has to drink water, than this (and I can add the new Crystal Lite Pure) so I should really say THESE, are the drinks to drink.
I ordered Stevita yesterday. It's already been shipped. I got the Berry Flavor.
I'll update when I get this.
I hate carbonated anything so for me, this is the way to go.

P.S. isn't it amazing the varied opinions on how Splenda and other artificial sweetners impact the release of insulin. I hardly know what to believe any more. Pretty soon I'll read that Sprouts aren't healthy. lol
