I am weird.. I produce tons of milk but hardly drink.. I have such a busy
life I forget to..

Yeah, well, I did that yesterday. It was 38 C with a relative humidity of
25%. Last night I was hot, headachey and nauseous, and I still am now.
I've
never had heat exhaustion before, and if this is 'mild' I'd hate to see
what
heat stroke is like...

It's freezing here.. I am busy with Xmas and 6 kids, and my friends fathers
Cancer has gone terminal, so I am looking after a lot of horses at the
moment around 15. I think if it was hot I would drink more.. but my body
isn't asking but that's because it's used to it.

But I don't think we eat splenda so we can eat twice as much. We eat it
so overall we consume less calories. I personally don't see anything
wrong with Splenda, and have been using it for a long time.

I think that was the point of the study, you think you are replacing and
consume less calories, but somehow end up eating more, of course this was
statistically over a large group, so you can't apply it to any one
individual, so if splenda is helping you reduce or control your weight then
that is great.

Me too and since I am a pre-diabetic, I don't have a choice. However, I
can't stand the taste of regular pop, if I drink it at all. It certainly
has
not made me gain weight, if anything I am losing weight and really don't
have an appetite. Some of these studies are really off. They use more of
the
product to see what would happen and the average person would never
consume
that much in a given sitting.

some studies are way off, this one was specifically looking at diet drink
versus the full sugar version, it seemed a fairly sensible and controlled
study as the control was drinking the full sugar, rather than water, so it
was comparing the two, I'd imagine that even better than either would be
just drinking water. As with any study, the results are all averages, with
any one person it may be that drinking diet pop is part of a solution, I
think the moral to take away is not to kid yourself that you are being good
by drinking diet stuff.
