WHAT HAPPENED TO PLAIN OL' SUGAR?

one ingredient you will not find in my fridge anymore is aspartame. sad, now that my major kick of peach fresca has come to a fast hault, but those 6 cans sitting on my counter have just gotta go.
after some research and interesting chats, we have given up this sugar substitute and gone back to our roots. sugar.
why you might ask. well, the list is loooong. but basically, there are WAY more dangerous side effects caused by aspartame than by regular sugar. granted, i don't drink mass amounts of diet coke or consume a lot of anything containing aspartame...but if you read the list of what it can do to you...you might just give it up too. if not, i hope you don't suffer from any of the neurological or gastrointestinal effects it could have on your poor little body.

Good girl! I should look into this too. . .or just get the Cliff's Notes version from you :)Giving up the Peach Fresca is pretty serious though!
