Folks, artificial sweeteners are unhealthy for your kids. Period. Pepsico may argue that fact, but I challenge you to find a SINGLE scientific journal to support aspartame as anything other than corrosive to your health.
If YOU choose to drink it, do so at your own risk, as you are an adult, capable of discerning the cost/benefit analysis to your own well-being. Your children are NOT. They are hostages to your choices, and deserve a healthier alternative. Water is one.
I truly try to refrain from judging the parenting decisions of others, but I draw the line when I see little kids drinking this SHIT.

I'm with you on this and the whole artificial sweetener thing. Soda is crap. Period. But if we are out somewhere and my kid really wants one (the rule at our house is one soda per week and I usually buy a good brand of root beer to drink on a Friday night or Izze brand), I would way rather have him drink the High Fructose Corn Syrup regular crap than a diet drink.
Amen sister!
