I hate to say something on-topic for a change, but I am personally worried about the artificial sweetners that get added to things, especially softdrink. In other countries they seem to add sucralose to lots of things. Apparently it is 1000 times sweeter than sugar, and actually derived from sugar, so it should be fine right... well, like almost anything it shows us as possibly causing cancer or other problems.
For me, cancer possibilities aside, it gives me an unsettled stomach, so I literally cannot stomach it.
It or similar sweetners seem to be getting added to softdrink here too. If it says 'diet' I can understand that, but when it doesn't, that's when it bugs me.
Where's the conspiracy about this one PM33? Me, I think its just a way to save money for softdrink companies and to sell more product into a market worried about the health qualities of the product.

i noticed that schweppes lemonade had started to have this really strong chemically aftertaste, and found out that they had started using a lemon flavouring that contained an artificial sweetner.
