Sugar-free squash (with artifical sweeteners) or squash with sugar in?
Before I get shot for some froot-shoot-related crime I should point out that I'm planning on feeding the chosen answer to DP, who hates to drink plain water. Very bad influence for future children, I know.
That's pretty unanimous so far.. what's so bad about the artifical stuff? The way they say 'no added sugar' it sounds like it should be a good thing. [confused]
I stand to be corrected, but I have read/heard that a high % of artificial sweetener has to be used to ape the natural sweetness and usually it is aspartame which I would want to avoid ...
for me - not that anything is wrong with the artificial (although I have learnt abouit asparteme (sp) on MN). But I prefer the taste of ones with sugar.
"proper 100% fruit juice as a half and half" Yep. Already drinking that too. And beer of course.
I just wondered where everyone stood on the aritifical sweeteners debate. So the majority believe that aspartame is evil, gives you brian tumours, makes you infertile, etc?
Trillian I don't know aboutthe research. My opinion on the stuff derives from the fact that when my son has it he literally will bite his own arm, so distessed and adgitated does he become. He does have an underlying disorder but I figure anything that can do that to his little brain is none too conducive to general health.
and trivial does not equal boring . I can be really boring on really exciting topics.

wouldnt give to children - but i drink sugar free all the time as it is free on ww
