Splenda
I quite like the Diet Coke with Splenda. It's pretty tasty. The best artificial sweetner, IMO.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Splenda has the least aftertaste for me. It's actually why I can't drink most diet sodas--aspartame and saccharin both have a strong bitter taste for me, rather than sweet.B♭3Comment

Why do you guys even consume sugar free/reduced foods?Comment

Sugar = carbs“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Well there are different kind of carbs (fast and slow) and you don't want to ... well.. let's put it at this way: you need carbs, but you need them in right percentage vs. fat and protein, and considering how much you need them all together but you need them daily if you want to keep healthy diet, this means even, and ESPECIALLY if you want to lose weight.
But if you munch white bread all day long, well that's not good
.
But people who think eating as less as possible, cutting on fat, carbs and protein.. man they're just asking to destroy their bodies in the long run. Not to mention be unsuccesful in their diets.In da butt.

Everything in moderation.
A chlorinated disaccharide...interesting...it lends from pharmacological thinking - an analogue that will bind to the appropriate receptor for 'sweetness' (don't know anything about the receptor mind you) but I presume is unable to bind to sucrase (pancreatic enzyme, breaks sucrose to fructose and glucose which are readily absorbed into the body).Speaking of Erith:

Big ol' nasty chlorines getting in the way I imagine. Receptors a bit less picky about how exact the match is than enzymes.Originally posted by Az
Aha! niiiiice. Yeah, it should be pretty close for the receptor. Don't see why wouldn't the enzyme break it up, though.Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.
