The holistic physicians' clinic I use put out a notice recommending that patients stop use of Splenda & all other artificial sweetners, saying something to the effect that, "we never thought we'd say this, but we'd even prefer you use white sugar over the artificial sweeters." The main concern was neurological effects. Diabetic patients were encouraged to use stevia.

How safe can it be to ingest a neurotransmitter? Aspartame is part of a brain chemical. Who wants to mess with your brain chemicals?
Actually, after saying that I must admit that I will allow myself up to 1 diet soda/ day at work only. Sometimes just water won't do it.
When I want a fizzy drink at home I mix a small amount of juice in a glass of club soda. It's not that many calories and seems to do the trick.
