Am I the only one who ditched artificial sweeteners after a health scare?

I used to drink diet soda every day, thinking it was healthy. Then I started having bad stomach cramps and low energy. I cut out all artificial sweeteners and felt better in a week. Now I tell my friends to check their food labels because that stuff can really affect you.

Was diet soda ever healthy though?

Pat_wood asking if diet soda was ever healthy hits on something BIG. We get sold this idea that "zero sugar" or "diet" means it's good for you, but it's just companies swapping one problem for another. I see it everywhere now, like "low fat" stuff packed with extra salt. It makes you really question what they call "healthy" food.
