Fruit Shoot H2O?

DTDs have just been to a party & the options for drinking were Classic fruit shoot, Fruit Shoot H20 or bottled water. They wouldn't go for water as all there friends had classic fruit shoots, but were happy with the H2O version.

This got me wondering, would a fruit shoot H2O actually be better than squash, which currently makes up about 30-50% of what they drink (remainder is water or milk).

I'm not saying its an educational/social divide, just as to whether you are educated in realtion to sweetners etc. like you I know of the dangers and therefore do not allow them, however my dp does not frequent mumsnet where i heard about it and therefore doesn't know (although I have told him sometimes he doesn't listen).

I am going to run as I hit the post button on this one....

What are the dangers of aspartame - is it 'just' the hyperactivity thing.

I am asking in the interests of being eductated.
