I read an article that makes the statement that artificial sweeteners have been linked to increased waist circumference, increased appetite and increased vascular events. Does anyone have additional any information to back this up? I only add artificial sweetener now to coffee, but it is also in my Water Enhancer, which I drink a lot of every day. I will be weaning myself off of the water enhancers because of these health links. Please share what you know or have experience with.

Oh fiddle when you have it figured out let me know!!

I quit all sugars real and artificial in all foods 1 year before surgery...

Well you know what happens in this surgery everything has fake sugar in it, so I feel like I am back at square one.

I say that because I am drinking flavored water drops everyday and I just can't bring myself to drink plain water.

I just tried some true lime and put 1 packet in 30 oz? Is this sound like the right ratio of true lime to water? It was a little weak, but maybe that is how it is supposed to taste. How much true lime do you mix into water, you true lime experts?

I think it's supposed to be for a 16.9 oz bottle, but I usually add it to 24 or 32 oz...I'm weird and like the flavor weak.
