I have no idea really as I do take some cola light when Im out otherwise I drink water. For home made drinks there is Stevia and Agave syrup but I am not sure they are sold here. But can be ordered from the UK.
True about saccharine, it was a scare but aspartame can cause migranes in people who are prone to them and if I am not mistaken also seizures in epileptics...I need to check my articles for that one though
I know but the botanics range only has 15 calories in it which can't be much more than an apple, no? I was thinking more along the lines of there being no "nasty" chemicals in them.
I am soooo sweet- here is some stuff that you can buy just over the border in France that is Aspartame free and Gluten free (DB); I mix it with sparkling water to make it sexy.
