: Hi guys,

: Sorry I need some convincing...or
: more information to help me
: understand better.

: Why exactly is 'fake' sugar bad..I
: mean, if it is not sugar, but
: instead it is splenda, or the
: other replacements, isn't this
: favourable as it would not evoke
: the same response in the body as
: sugar? If we were to have diet
: coke for example, wouldn't this
: help with the cravings?

This might give you some information as a start

And yes, Diet Coke would make you feel way better short term. And then,
you feel worse

And we actually don't need to *convince* you . This is a fun this to explore with
your journal. And really not until down the line, Kiki.
