The Strange Reason Diet Soda Makes You Fat: http://news.mensheal...a-fat/2012/06/21/ Consuming high amounts of fructose (a type of sugar), artificial sweeteners, and sugar alcohols (another type of low-calorie sweetener) cause your gut bacteria to adapt in a way that interferes with your satiety signals and metabolism, according to a new paper in Obesity Reviews. ... How does that happen? As bacteria in the gut process food, they give off byproducts called short-chain fatty acids. These can be beneficial and serve as energy in the body. But as the sweetener-adapted bacteria thrive and become more efficient at processing large amounts of high-fructose corn syrup, artificial sweeteners, and sugar alcohols, they also produce more and more short-chain fatty acids. I like the curiously strong ginger ales as well, but only the true sugar ones and only infrequently at that. Regards, -scott Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson.

I stopped drinking pop for the most part about 5 years ago. Now when I have sweet foods I can only eat what most Americans would consider to be a very small portion, and I don't crave it at all. My blood sugar is more even as well. Regards, -scott Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson.

Now flavoured milk is way too sweet and I feel funny afterwards. Wade. Just Add Story http://justaddstory.wordpress.com/

I have a very occasional pop; drinks like scotch, gin, or jaeger rather more often than pop. Oh, I do take cream in my coffee, but never sugar. It's just better that way.
Post #359,877 by folkert 6/28/12 11:16:09 PM Reply	I like my coffee like I like my women... Strong, Bitter and Black. No wait. No, I just like my coffee like that. I like my women: white, redheaded and fiery. Good thing. I'm married to a redhead. I drink a lot of fluid a day. I drink probably 4-6 28oz glasses of filtered water (aka fridge dispensed water). I also drink about 60oz of Diet Caffeine Free Coke or Pepsi, I get it in an insulated cup with ice in it and it lasts pretty much 8 hours. I don't drink a lot of coffee or caffeine product anymore. Maybe while eating out. Or maybe an MFL once or twice a week if its HOT. Yes, I leak a lot.
