Okay, all this talk about nutrasweet is making me nervous.
Do I have cause to be?

I consume a large quantity of diet soda that contains either
nutrasweet, saccarine or a blend of both.
When my 2 year old wants soda, this is what I give her versus
"regular" soda since I figured all that sugar wasn't good
for her.  She definitely does not drink as much as I do -
maybe a shotglass-ful a day or every other day.  

Can this small amount still be harmful?


Ya know, I think I just answered my own question, sort of.
Since I feel doubtful to begin with, I'm just going to
cut it out of her diet completely.  She'll stick to
apple juice, while I guzzle down diet Sprite.

Thanks to whoever started this whole discussion about
Nutrasweet.
