I can not have anything at all with aspartame in it. It causes severe
migraines for me. I can't even chew gum with Nutra Sweet in it because it
affects me! Isn't that odd? I really hate the stuff and don't recommend it
but that is only because the affect on me is so great. You just have to
wonder about stuff like that.

As far as sodas go. I am a Dr. Pepper fanatic. I have been drinking it every
day for many years. I didn't even stop when I was pregnant - just cut down.
I drink at least 1 a day and sometimes as many as 4 20 oz. bottles. Today was
a 4 DP day, as I call them. THe fatigue hit and the only way to stay awake at
work was by guzzling DP all day! I am paying for it now, though. My body is
ready for bed but my mind is racing!LOL

Again, just my 2 cents worth! (which is on sale 1/2 price today in honor of
Christmas)
