    And I'm sure the FDA has never made a mistake and is always objective is its analyses . . .

    Why would you eat something artificial? Why not just have the real thing in true moderation? Or as several have mentioned, when you go without something for a while, your tastebuds readjust and you don't want it anymore.

    It is really just a personal choice. Yes, if I have one diet pepsi every day I will not die from that diet pepsi, but I personally feel there are not enough long-term studies to make consumption safe. Also, I have had kidney problems in the past and some information was brought to my attention suggesting that long term use of artificial sweeteners (just one serving a day) can have a negative impact on kidneys.

    In non-soda items, i just really hate the taste of artificial sweetener!

    However, props to you for doing research and making an informed decision for yourself! :)
