I don't know why or where I heard this but artificial sweeteners like
HFCS, aspartame and splenda do convert to true sugars. Whether right or
wrong I forget the source and don't drink artificial sweeteners anymore.

HFCS *is* a sugar, not an artifical sweetener.

Aspartame and splenda do not convert to sugar; they don't have the right
chemistry to do so.


I do go through plenty of bottled water instead. I do get some sugar in
fat-free milk with my complex carb Trader Joe's O's.

I don't like plain water much, but some stores are carrying this stuff
that's just spearmint and water, no sweetener at all. I like it.

No idea how they make it though; it's completly clear so doesn't seem like
it's a tea.

Metromint. And they just recalled it. I buy it sometimes. Sometimes I
like it. Sometimes I feel like I am drinking mouthwash.
