Step away from the Diet Coke, that shit will kill you. You just can't trust an organochlorine, then again I'm not a biochemist. I only took enough to be very afraid of certain structures.
@Singlemalt @cannabineer can reassure you, unlike me they aren't chemistry dilettantes

and I'm pretty sure we can't trust the "G" when they tell us those chemical sweetner's are "safe".
Stevia is what I've been using

Quite a few years ago a very opinionated lady came out to the lodge & brought a couple of cases of "her" wine with her & looked down her nose at those of us drinking anything but her brand (and we'll pretty much drink anything).
Boys will be boys & late one night of drinking we fished one of her empties out & refilled it with box wine.
Long story short she never knew the difference & flat out refused to believe we had done that and she couldn't tell.
Lol

Franzia really is bad, but there are a few boxed wines that are consistently good.

Bing; I am deeply worried about chlorinated organics (like sucralose). Even as a chemist by trade ... I can't defend it point by point, but many of the toxic disasters of the last 60 years have involved chlorinated organics. So I'm gunshy of any in my food or drink.

Not only that, but I recently learned that artificial sweeteners are just as bad as sugar in the quality that matters: induction of insulin secretion. Never mind immediate weight loss; long-term obesity due to insulin derangement is a for-shit trade. Just say no.

Until there is evidence to the contrary, the only "artificial" sweentener I'd remotely consider is Stevia, which isn't artificial. That said, I actually don't like any fake sweeteners, I'm old and don't have that much longer so I'll risk sugar

Switching to Stevia wasn't that hard for me (about 10 years ago). I don't notice the aftertaste some remark on but the brand you use makes a diff IMO. As a matter of fact kicking the whole sugar (maybe 20 years ago), HFCS, etc was easier than I thought it would be. I used to drink 4-6 Diet Pepsi's a day. I still have maybe one a week but no pop other than that. And I'm OAF too ;)
