just a reminder to those of us who love artificial sweeteners.

It's a trick, it's a gimmick. Tests prove that people gain weight using them.

Reason is, the tongue sends a message to the pancreas when we taste something sweet, to say *hey go ahead and release that insulin*. Only we don't take in sugar, we take in something else and the pancreas is doing it's thing and releasing the insulin.

SO then you have all this insulin and no sugar to balance it.

The body knows what to do with sugar, it does not know what to do with artificial sugar, it's foreign and sometimes a chemical.

Have the coke if you like, the diet coke is counterproductive!

i went into serious withdrawal after giving up my diet coke, i liked it! Now i couldn't drink one if i tried.

But now and then i do treat myself to a taste of real coke.
