You've provided good info here.

I wrote off aspartame last year when I stopped drinking a 12-pack every two days. (Strangely, wonderfully, that stopped my incontinence problem. What a bonus!) (TMI? )

I guess I'll read more about Splenda. I'm not too worried about gut bacteria, as my nutritionist has me on probiotics.

I didn't know that Stevia has a bad taste. I'm going to try it anyway.

Thanks for the Mayo Clinic link. I'll read what they have to say.
