Sweet Poison

[Shanti]

Yep, i stay away from diet drinks and only drink regular softdrinks !

[Heaven]

Ahh....lucky I don't drink any of that stuff.

[Sterla]

Yeah, I never touch the stuff. I figure the sugar in normal soft drink has to be better than the awful chemicals in the diet stuff.

I think diet drinks are disgusting, but apparently this is not true.

I try to avoid it where ever possible - I think it has to stuff up your blood sugar and insulin balance if nothing else.

Eeeek Im a diet coke drinker! No more it seems

If this is true, what about children's medications? Specifically Panadol or Nurofen as they are used most often? I would hate to think I was causing damage to DD but what other options (that work) are available?
