to be honest all the diet stuff has bad side effects, all the innovations
in replacing sugar have not turned out to be as good as hoped,

I've used Splenda for a long time with no side effects that I can tell. I
used to get really bad headaches when I would use aspartame.

It might not give instant side effects, but there was some research at some
point within the last year that linked sugar replacements with weight gain,
bizarre, but the theory was because your body didn't get the right signals,
it thought it needed stuff, so you'd feel hungry and eat to hunger, I know
that sounds a bit bizarre, but it made sense, I came to the conclusion that
if I was going to eat cake or whatever I might as well eat one slice of the
real thing rather 2 slices of the low sugar low fat stuff.

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.

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.

It's not true for me. No side effects at all. Not like there was when I used
aspartame.

If you feel like you're drowning, then you're
drinking too much. Just drink if you're thirsty.

I did find that to be the case with aspartame. When I drank Crystal
Light all the time I gained weight. I haven't found the same to be
true for Splenda.

I am pumping tons of extra breastmilk for freezer, and Emily easily consumes

cocoas, etc. Is this adequate?

Just drink to thirst. Don't drown yourself,
but don't forget to drink because you're busy
or tired.

My wonderful LLL leader/LC actually said that drinking past your thirst
can lead to supply problems. You don't want to over-do the liquids.

I am weird.. I produce tons of milk but hardly drink.. I have such a busy
life I forget to.. I drink and pee a couple of times a day. Shocking I
know!!

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...
