Soft drinks without Aspartame

[Roundthemoon]

I was drinking diet soft drinks as I thought they were slightly healthier. Now I've been hearing a lot of bad reports about Aspartame, which is the sweetener that they use in a lot of these drinks.

It seems to be in so many drinks. And so many studies show that it's not good for us.

Has anyone found any nice drinks to drink that don't have aspartame in them?

I can't have any artificial sweeteners or stevia because they give me headaches like others have said.

For fizzy drinks if I want one then normal Coke, cherry Coke, Irn Bru 1901 or Appletiser are my go-tos. Our local corner shop also sells American Fanta which is fine (British Fanta isn't). They also used to have orange Mirinda which didn't have sweeteners but I've googled it and there are sweeteners mentioned now so I'll make sure to check the label if I see it again.

I also have a heart condition so no energy drinks at all for me and I have to limit caffeine, I drink decaf coffee at home so a Coke or two as a treat is fine.

I have cold infusion tea bags at home which are like weak diluting juice. I have Twinings and Tetley ones. Again I think some may have stevia now, mine don't so again more label checking when I go shopping for more.

Wetherspoons has been one of the harder places since they don't do Coke. They do decaf coffee at least but for cold drinks my choice is either fresh fruit juice or water. I've started having some of their non alcoholic beers if I want a cold drink without getting tipsy.

Yes, the classic recipe. Unless you buy it in the EU.
