I like Milo's un-sweet tea also. I have to stay away from anything with sucralose and maltodexterin sweeteners.....they're rough on my guts (and toilet paper consumption).

I've never had a problem with sucralose, not even a hint of trouble. And none with maltodextrin either. My body just thinks it's starch. But sugar alcohols like maltitol and all the other -ols give me cramps, bloating, and the runs if I eat very much. Sugar-free Hershey bars have a reputation as a super-laxative because of it. Maltitol has such a bad effect on so many people that Haribo quit making sugar-free gummy bears. And Jelly Belly said a serving of sugar-free ones was 32 of those tiny beans, but suggested you only eat 6 of them the first time, to see if you can tolerate it.

My wife bought some sugar free ice cream by mistake once. By the time I realized the 'off taste' was what it was, it was too late to reel it in.
It did not go well some hours later....at all.

I'm drinking Coke zero sugar. I haven't bought bottled water lately and only have about half a cup left. Coke zero sugar is sweetened with aspartame (Nutrasweet, Equal, Sugar Twin), acesulfame potassium, or Ace-K (Sunett, Sweet One), and stevia extract. According to Coca-Cola's website, Coca‑Cola Zero Sugar looks and tastes more like Coca‑Cola Original Taste, while Diet Coke has a distinct lighter taste. Diet Coke is only sweetened with aspartame, which gives it a bitter metallic aftertaste, but not as bad as saccharin would. Some people still like Diet Coke better than Coke zero that tastes like it's made with sugar. I just don't understand that at all. ???

Fresca.  Neat.

Great nations rise and fall. The people go from bondage to spiritual truth, to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency, from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependence, from dependence back again to bondage. Where are we now??????
