[font style="font-family:'Georgia','Baskerville Old Face','Helvetica',fantasy;" size=4 color=teal]That said, I am a soda addict. It is beyond me to give them up at this point. I am stuck with a choice of evils and only evils.

One evil is SIGNIFICANTLY healthier for me. The one with artificial sweeteners. Which is the point. Despite, what those who live their lives based upon an appeal to nature fallacy will tell you, Artificial sweeteners are not, unto themselves, bad for you.

In fact, they are quite a superior choice for those wanting to lose weight but can not live without a sweet fix. And having something like that is a great thing![/font]
