Yeah never see the point in diet coke, always knew it was worse and it tastes awful :bored:
I have been using that when making coca cola cake for others :shocked: There is always a food or drink comes under scrutiny and is considered bad for us long after many of us have consumed quantities of it over time :( I have to add I don't touch diet drinks as I can't stand the taste of them.
That aspartame is used in lots of food and drinks, its in some cereals and chewing gum too.
