Right. And Da Man invented AIDs to kill black people.

I believe *some* people are sensitive to *some* additives like
aspartame -- but let's not go down the "ban peanuts at the ballpark"
mentality because *some* people are allergic to them. Mary and I (and
the kids) have happily consumed only diet soda pop for decades. The
only side effect is that we are not overweight.

A single can of regular soda (AKA: Liquid Candy) per day will cause
you to gain several pounds per year. Most people consume far more
than one pop per day, and I could easily weigh 50 to 60 pounds more
than I do now (as, sadly, many acquaintances do) if I had not swore
off the stuff in the 1980s.

It's a healthier alternative to sugared soda, IMHO.

And an even healthier alternative is to drink water. Once you get used
to it, water actually tastes very good, without any chemicals or sugar
to spoil it.
