you drint alot of diet stuff -- read up on the synthetic sweeteners --
not inteded to piss you off
I did a quick google on it and basically what I came up with was cancer-causing stuff -- is that what you were talking about? How common is it?
Do they make caffiene free Pepsi that isn't diet? My wife isn't supposed to have caffiene[/b][/quote]
As far as I can tell, almost anything can cause cancer in large enough doses. Saccharin, the sweetner in Carefree gum, causes cancer in lab rats. But IIRC the doses were quite large, especially for a tiny animal. So it's possible these things can cause cancer, but you'd probably have to drink nothing but Diet Pepsi all day, every day for it to hurt you. And even then it's a toss up. So I've heard anyway.
As for caffiene free, non-diet Pepsi, yep, they make it. My mom needs to drink it too so that's all we get. And I don't care what people say, but I can tell a difference between regular Coke/Pepsi and their caffiene free counterparts.
