I don't know the conspiracy side of it at all, but it make head head feel
like an over ripe walnut waiting to explode. I just can't drink diet bevs,
etc. Mostly I drink water and whole juices, so it's not really problem, but
I do occasionally enjoy the rush of a bottle of coke. I've mentioned it to
doctors who seem to hem and haw about whether or not what I'm describing is
clearly possible. I don't know what they think I'm describing, but it
simply happens.

My wife discovered stevia a few months ago and we've been playing with it.
We have some powder and some liquid and it's pretty amazing stuff. It has a
bit of a different flavor that bears getting used to, but so far, I'm
thinking that it's worth doing. (I'm still working on soy milk...hopefully
stevia will be easier.)
