I agree the parents have a longer relationship and history with sugar though!!

The subject was on artificial sweetners and additives- I usually drink iced tea (plain), but would occasionally have a diet soda. Listening to him speak was enough for me to NEVER ingest any artificial sweetner again....ever.They advertise Splenda as being made naturally from sugar - huh? And yes, I know people that get terrible stomach pains when they use it.

I don't like to eat any of them -even stevia- they made me barf when I was pregnant and I trust that sensitivity. Thanks for the lowdown.

I found out a couple of years ago that I am allergic to aspartame. Every time I would drink or eat something with it as an ingredient, my blood pressure would shoot up, I'd become dizzy and sick to my stomach. After I cut it out completely from my diet, I did a bit of research. Now that I know it can cause brain tumors I seriously don't miss it. Great post.
