lets all ask coca cola to use splenda as a zero calorie soft drink instead of that gasoline tasting sugar free additive

I like the taste of aspartame!

Do some research on Splenda and I'm sure you will change your mind. I was in love with Splenda at first until I read an article in a health magazine about the chemical process that they do to the sugar to make it into Splenda...I believe it is made by Bayer the pharmaceutical company. Check it out. And yes I know the other stuff is bad too, but it is the lesser of the evils. There has not been enough studies on the long term affects of Splenda... (just in case you care...which I'm sure you don't.)

Because honestly, I am not sure that all these artificial sweetners, especially Splenda, is any better for you if not worse than sugar. If I am going to have a soda, I have a better-tasting real one, not diet, and just accept the fact that I am going to be drinking sugar. Then compromise by not having that piece of cake or brownie later, etc. : )

Because not everyone likes Splenda, I used to be a fan, however there is increasingly disturbing information about the affect the chemicals have on the body. Although it has been FDA approved we know that does not necessarily mean anything. But who knows, maybe you will be seeing Coke with *splenda* on store shelves soon.

There is "Diet Coke with Splenda" on the market right now. It has been out for about a year or so now. At least where I live in Miami, FL it has been around for a while.
It tastes MUCH BETTER than that nasty old Diet Coke. I think that it sort of tastes like it has a touch of lemon flavor, but a much better flavor (more flavor) and less radioactive tasting than Diet Coke.

Good question. Pepsi uses Splenda in it's Pepsi One. Great stuff. By the way - Splenda is made with SUGAR folks!

I like splenda but try so hard not to have any of it.
I am serious about my answer. I believe that they are using the lesser of 2 evils because of all of the medical suits people file when they figure out how incredibly bad the stuff is (like tobacco)
For example the link to early onset of Alzheimer's in women

Instead of drinking soft drinks why not try water. There are no calories..it has many benefits, and its not full of garbage like diet or even non diet pop. If you just have to have the bubbles...get a bottle of club soda and pour it into a little bit of 100% juice. Then you get a little flavor and not all the crap.

Doesn't splenda eat through your brain and other organs?
I wouldn't want to injest any of that stuff.
It can cause things such as:
* Shrunken thymus glands (up to 40 percent shrinkage)
* Enlarged liver and kidneys
* Atrophy of lymph follicles in the spleen and thymus
* Increased cecal weight
* Reduced growth rate
* Decreased red blood cell count
* Hyperplasia of the pelvis
* Extension of the pregnancy period
* Aborted pregnancy
* Decreased fetal body weights and placental weights
* Diarrhea

They do....I think that's what Coke Zero is, or at least there is definately a variation of diet coke that features Splenda...

Personally I've gotten used to aspartame in diet coke - splenda works great in baking, but sucks otherwise...
Just my .01
