The new Diet Coke w/Splenda is the best soft drink ever!

Has anyone else tried this stuff yet? It tastes almost exactly like regular Coke, but just slightly less sweet. It's perfect! Tastewise, the old Diet Coke isn't even in the same league.

I just hope I haven't done irreparable damage to my body with the old Aspartame laced Diet Coke.:shk:

Peace

splenda is sucralose, a chlorocarbon. Chlorocarbons are amongst the most dangerous chemicals around. Furthermore, tests on splenda showed dramatic shrinkage on the thymus gland. Even without being a physician, you have to figure that this isn't a good thing. I'm afraid that splenda isn't such a splendid substance. In fact, as time goes on, I'm willing to bet that the negatives surrounding splenda will grow into a list just as long as the list for aspartame and sacharine. If you want to enjoy a Coke, go ahead, but make it a "pause that refreshes" and not your main source of liquid. Try drinking more water, tea and real fruit juice. It's healthier.

Splenda is essentially bleached, the chlorine in "chlorocarbon." The chlorine damages the thyroid, resulting in thyroid disfunction and eventually failure. The more you think splenda helps you lose weight, the fatter you get.

I'll take my real sugar, thanks



Diet anything is just nasty, I can't stand the taste of any artifical sweetners.

when you have regular splenda 'granules' that are suppose to imitate sugar granules 99% of what you see is actaully filler

Wonder what the filler is. More yumminess.

I can always tell when I take a sip of some "diet" soda.....it is just plain nasty.

I believe it is common sense to know that anything that is synthetic can't be good for you.

I'll stick with good old sugar

I use splenda in my tea and like the taste more then sugar (its not as sweet)

Considering sugar would kill me splenda is not a bad substitute

Splenda is a fantastic sugar substitute. The sugar industry has been fearmongering over synthetic substitutes ever since they first began appearing, but no real danger has ever been supported by data. I haven't tasted the new Diet Cok, but I'm sure it's great, I like Splenda in tea etc.

I'm truly disappointed after reading your post. It's always something damnit!!! I looked at this as a miracle since I drink about 20 Diet Cokes a day.
I can't even drink regular Coke anymore because it's too sweet.

Like dj and Amok, I'll probably continue to ingest it and hope for the best.

Peace
