Each flavor has a different nutrient (Cherry Mint has Acerola vitamin C, Lemon-Green Tea Mint has real Green Tea extract and choline, the Pure Mint has Creatine, and the Orange Mint has Ginger extract)... I've tried them, and now I'm hooked... The problem is, they are hard to find.

What I can do without is the subtle after-something that makes the roof of my mouth feel odd.<BR/><BR/>Given a choice, I'd vote to bring back Diet Coke with Lemon. I have yet to walk into a restaurant, order a Diet Coke and have the waiter ask, "whould you like vitamins and minerals with that?" It's always "lemon" or, to a lesser degree, "lime." There's a reason for that, folks.Bridget Unnelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16414495019174567227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12333976.post-8018419239952043952007-03-28T21:50:00.000-04:002007-03-28T21:50:00.000-04:00CarbSmart ice cream is STILL widely available in a...CarbSmart ice cream is STILL widely available in all the flavors in my area, Victoria, so it must be a regional thing.

I have no trouble finding it here in Nashville, often at the grocery and always at Target.<BR/><BR/>I quit consuming aspartame about 10 years ago when I determined it was a trigger for my seizures.

The soda manufacturers are only concerned about taste which translates into sales amongst a public that does not realize nastytame has some awful properties.<BR/><BR/>When I spoke with the Coke spokeswoman about people having concerns, she said those are all lies and unfounded (I think the line "where are the dead corpses in the street" came up at one point). <BR/><BR/>It's not that this stuff will necessarily KILL you, but I have personally had bad headaches and seen my weight loss stall from consuming nastytame.<BR/><BR/>If people love it, then I guess the market forces rule the roost.

Although I do not drink a lot of diet sodas, it was nice to have a mainstream brand, available virtually everywhere, that was not sweetened with the deadly apartame. I made a point of purchasing one whenever I was out and about. It was a pleasant treat for me, and it would, I hope, encourage the manufacturers to produce more such products. I happened to be in a convenience store the other day, and went to the cooler to grab a cold 20 oz diet 7-up, and noticed the splenda logo was missing from the label. I read the ingredients list, and sure enough, there was the toxic apartame, rearing its ugly head. I was very disappointed. I had hoped that the new line of Diet 7-UP had signalled a sea-change, and that Splenda would gradually replace apartame as the sweetener of choice. It looks like I'm back to searching for more obscure brands like Diet Rite, and Diet RC for my occasional soft drink fix. As always, I refuse to buy any product tainted with the most tested poison of all time, which has been declared completely safe by the FDA,(a wholly owned subsidiary of big pharma.)
