Oh, that's appropriate here. Totally hitting the hammer with the nail!

Tim, what real "health nut" drinks soda pop in the first place?
Soda pop has a very acid Ph level of 2.
A real "health nut" would not touch soda pop with a ten-foot
pole.

We're seeing the beginning of the erosion of Aspartame's dominance...

But they wouldn't touch it because it's "empty calories." YOU
wouldn't touch it because of your irrational fear of "pH 2."

You must lead a very frightened existence, one that gets worse every
time you fall for another health scare. By now, you're probably
carrying around a portable pH meter to test all your food.

I can't see that it'll make much difference. Betty Martini will just
shift from paranoid fear of aspartame to paranoid fear of some other
sweetener. Personally, I'd like to see aspartame replaced by
something that tastes better. Bring back cyclamate, for that matter.

George, do you put vinegar on your fries? How about salad dressing on
salads?

Actually, my "taste buds" do not like taste of soda pop. Too
syrup-ly and sugar-ly to suit my taste buds.

I only avoid these three food item groups: sugar; dairy
(including cow's milk) products; and soda pop. And also try to avoid
drinking tap water, if possible. Except for dairy (including cow's milk)
products, my taste buds are sensitive for the above items. But since my
body is sensitive to dairy (including cow's milk) products [strep
throats/lung congestion], I have good health reasons to avoid the dairy
group forever.

So that is less than six food items I will avoid. Not that bad.

This sugar discussion does not bother me at all. Since my taste
buds do not like the taste of sugar.
