The aspartame in it turns into formaldahyde in your body....as in "embalming fluid"-- not good for bodies that are still alive. i can't drink that Crystal light stuff - it gives me the runs. Plus, diet soda keeps up your craving for sweets. Switch to carbonated water - Kroger sells a quart of it for like 59 cents, and I find that the fizziness is just as satisfying as drinking pop, but it's got 0 calories!
Your doing great, in fact, you've inspired me to get back on my diet, too!
