Guest guest Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Good article. and if anyone is wondering why diet drinks have more caffeine, it's that aspartame (Nutra Sweet) and/or sucralose(Splenda). Both are known excito-toxins, which produce the same effect as caffeine in bumping up the metabolism, heart rate, respiration, etc. So those of you using anything with those products in, or add it to foods...BEWARE! For more info, go to www.aspartame.com. And you can bet, if beverage manufacturers have to list the caffeine, and sales drop, they will do exactly the same thing the cold medicine manufacturers did years ago, when they got bad press for adding caffeine to cold meds. They'll just substitute phenylalanine, another nasty excito-toxin or worse, psuedoephidrine. Then your kids will be able to cook meth from their soda pop! People tell me they'd drink more water, but they just don't like the taste of it. Like that hour old can of Diet Coke sitting on your desk is really yummy!
