with REAL cane sugar. We've gone exclusively to cane sugar sodas (Hansen's, Sierra Mist, Pepsi Throw back, Mexi-Coke) in our house. Not only do they taste a gagillion times better, they have fewer calories than sodas with HFCS, they don't affect my blood sugar as much as HFCS sodas, and they don't have Aspartame in them.
A little TMI
Back when Aspartame was first developed, I started drinking Diet Coke (I only drink one soda a day and it takes me forever to drink it) and about an hour later I would get a horrible headache then an hour later diarrhea. My doctor at the time (internal medicine) told me to stop drinking or anything with aspartame in it. In his opinion it hadn't been tested enough, there were already studies that suggested that aspartame intake stimulated the appetite, causing the subject to take in more calories than they would with a sugared drink. Another study suggested that over 50% of people drinking aspartame sodas had adverse symptoms like mine in addition to skin rashes, vomiting, sensitivity to sunlight and difficulty urinating. Then he told me that it metabolized into some nasty chemicals and to never use it.
Then all the crazed mommies demanded that sugar be removed from EVERYTHING and we were faced with either HFCS or a chemical stew containing god knows what. I'm so glad that real sugar has come full circle. Now I'm waiting for Butter to do the same thing.
