I cannot fathom drinking a diet drink with the fake sugar stuff because of fear of the chemical additives. In this I'm also including not drinking the newer version of "fake" sugar, splenda, which is also questionable at best. Am I the only one in the world who thinks about this, and is freaked out for the people who do drink these so called "diet" drinks?

I do not drink or eat any artificial sweeteners knowingly.
My child had seizures after ingesting some. My father who always drank diet sodas and really loved the advent of nutra sweet and splenda has now in his 60's come down with rare diseases, I attribute in a great part to the diet beverages.
I do not trust monsanto company AT ALL.

wow that is so informative. of course, the other side would say there is no way to prove that there is any connection, but some things are common sense. My jaw dropped when i read your child having seizures after ingesting some. Did you ever say anything to any doctors, do they even consider that the reason for his seizure?
