Re: aspartame?
Try getting used to sugarless tea/coffee and u’ll never go back. A few years ago my mum was diagnosed with diabetes. Out of fear my sister and I stopped taking sweetened bevarages with her too. All it took was a month or so to get used to it. Now if I ever happen to take a sip of sweetened tea/coffee my reaction is as bad as it was when i’d drink unsweetened tea in the past. I can;t ever go back.
As for aspartame it was discussed a while ago in another thread. Here’s the link
