Apparantly if it is brought to a boil the protien will break down and methanol (better known as wood alcohol) is formed. Also, if aspartame is heated for a period of time it breaks down somewhat and turns bitter. So if you want to use diet soda in this recipe, you should use one with saccharin only. I've only been reading this group for a month or so, so I hope that this topic hasn't been thoroughly covered previously. Please don't flame me if it has, I just thought that is should be brought up. Sounds like a great recipe, though. Steve Manning, Madison Academic Computing Center ...!{allegra,heurikon,ihnp4,seismo,uwm-evax}!uwvax!uwmacc!oper
