I'm not sure about that, but definitely the sugar-free stuff you are drinking tastes weird.

I'm used to that taste now.....I only drank one cup of the decaf stuff yesterday because I couldn't hack it...I dunno.....to sleep or not to sleep.....I am thinking I should give up soda for good and go back to drinking juice...

Juice has a lot more sugar in it (unless you get the sugar-free stuff)- so for your weight concerns, you'll just want to be careful about how much you ingest.

Do you like water?

deleted_user 07/16/2009

pffft! no -one likes water!!

We have a fridge with a water dispenser....we got one because I raved about my aunt's fridge water as a kid, and now I can't stand it....so we have an expensive fridge for nothing....I can't stand water.

have you tried putting a lemon in it?

Ive been off soda for years. It's horrible for you , really it is. Bad for your stomach ..(inside) and it f's up your teeth . I drink caff free sugar free drinks. Crystal lights and stuff. They are fab and delish.. just no bubbles. Try it out :)

I'm not sure either because I haven't had soda in so long. I can taste the difference between regular and decaf coffee. I need to cut back on the coffee, but I refuse to give it up!

diet lemonade is the worst yuk, but l don't drink fizzy drinks now they aren't good for you sad but true.

l keep water in my fridge too and mix it with ribena or drink it neat

I think water is a better choice than soda .. I prefer to add a 1/2 pkg of crystal lite to enhance the taste... ((hugs)) polar

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
