the fact is that nobody knows what problems a new substance can have. You can't find out what the long-term effects will be until long-term time has passed. Use sugar, it;s been around a long time, and drink lots less soft drinks. I used to drink lots of coke. Then i started drinking more water, and now i find i can;t get through a whole can, it's way too sweet.
